port

[Greg Pulliam]

Has the programmer usage of _port_ as a transitive verb (presumably
backformed from portable?) meaning "to adjust a program written for
one platform (e.g. MacOS) to run on a different platform (e.g., Linux
or Windows) been documented?  I suspect it has, but my
less-than-brand-new references here at home don't show it.

Example:
"Microsoft didn't just port its Windows version of Internet Explorer
4.5 to the MacOS, they wrote it from the ground up in native Mac
code."

Thanks!
