John,

Thanks for looking into this. Your Windows binary seemed to work fine
for me in light testing.

Unlike Dr. Walter, I was able to export to PDF but in this log, every
line was doubled. Is that normal? I'm attaching the PDF.

Does the installation script uninstall over versions? If not (and
perhaps until that is completely tested) I would recommend a warning for
the user to manually uninstall all prior versions first.

I think this is great and we should ask for wider testing.

-Alan

The irony of this ... is that the Internet is
both almost-infinitely expandable, while at the
same time constrained within its own pre-defined
box. And if that makes no sense to you, just
reflect on the existence of Facebook. We have
the vastness of the internet and yet billions
of people decided to spend most of them time
within a horribly designed, fake-news emporium
of a website that sucks every possible piece of
personal information out of you so it can sell it
to others. And they see nothing wrong with that.
