Thank you for the offer. This has been discussed many times over the years and turned down due to support costs.

Yes, the port would be nice to have, but the continuing costs would include somebody to recomile, test and update the binaries plus installed hardware at FAH to perform those functions as well a continuing effort to benchmark each new project and assign the appropriate number of points.

Then, to, not all software components are Open. Though there's a plan to open the code, there's no time to do that while everbody is busy trying to support the COVAID19 efforts.
