Anyone Interested in porting a C++ geodesic dome program to Euphoria?

For years the standard GPL geodesic dome program has been a program called dome by Ric Bono. It appears that Bono has not updated his program in several years, even though his standard geodesic math reference work, "Geodesic Math - and How to Use It", by Hugh Kenner has been updated. If someone is seriously interested in taking on the project, I will provide a copy of the current edition of "Geodesic Math" for the programmer's use.
Ric Bono's program can still be downloaded from this link: http://www.senecass.com/software/dome48.tar.gz
Two very interesting landmark articles on geodesic geometry and math can be downloaded here:http://www.salsburg.com/geod/geod.html
Now, if I were really smart, I'd set up a contest for the rendition of Bono's "Dome" program in Euphoria. I've noticed that programmer's love competition and go totally ape over winning some paltry prize which probably amounts to about a half hours pay. Actually, I guess it is the thrill of solving the problem.
