Program in UNIX? What do you mean by that? Shell scripts? Footnotes: [1] I mean, yes, I am shocked as well. Like my last laptop, I bought my present one with "German keyboard provided through indestructible [haha] stickers". And I expected that I'd get the American keyboard I am used to by peeling off those stickers, like it worked the last few times. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
