Actually it was made by Dan Rowley of ICS. Landware was only the
publisher and he retained the rights. At one point he was selling it
direct (though his ICS site) however the site has been down for awhile
now. I will try getting in contact with him again and see if he would
be interested in resuming selling it. I know that there are several
people on the list that would like a copy.

There is another possibility though not as flexible. You can use NCU
(Newton Connection utilities) to import a tab limited file. It is not
as flexible as X-Port but it might be enough for now. I have seen
copies of X-port appear on ebay at times. So you might want to keep a
eye out for that.
