Ahoy,
the first reply and it’s already one sent by an authority. I’m impressed.
My primary operating system is Windows and Windows is not an inviting
environment for make recipes. :-)
The original attempt was to have a more user-friendly UI for groff, so even
people who are afraid of the command-line can have an easy start with it.
Naturally, most of them will upgrade to makefiles later…
SSL is used for update checks- it probably requires OpenSSL libraries. I’ll
leave a FAQ some time later, I guess.
tux0r is my legal (“artistic”) name in Germany - as an alternative to my birth
name, of course.
