Grant,
I used to talk with Dan Rowley on a semi-regular basis years ago about X-port and all things Newton.  Back then he was still on the list.  He dropped off, changed e-mails, and I lost touch with him.  However, if he doesn't have the files to 2.1 handy and he gives permission I can certainly upload them to UNNA.  I have all the files and docs for both windows and Mac.  Up until Kagi went poof, you could still purchase X-Port.  ICS is some of the best stuff I ever purchased for my newt, X-port in particular. A Newt's case is also wonderful.  I use the stuff in that almost every day.  His package manager I think is the best for saving settings of different packages you want froze/thawed and switching with ease.  It is even more of a help say with a 120 with the reduced heap.

Anyway if he doesn't have the files, I do.  All of them except the source of course.
