Be aware that your distribution licence should make it pretty clear that it's ok for the project to distribute your program in source or binary form. Here's some urls that may help: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html If you come across any difficulties, or when your "port" is finished you should mail ports@freebsd.org with a url to the relevant files. It's really great about the level of interest ISVs are taking in FreeBSD lately, I look forward to trying out your demo. In fact if you keep us updated someone may write the port for you. Just repeating myself for clarity, I don't represent or work for FreeBSD, your milage may vary. thanks, -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|bright@wintelcom.net] systems administrator and programmer Wintelcom - http://www.wintelcom.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
