Re: Standalones on el Capitan?

As Richard and Paul have said plus, you've got more to worry about than just converting numToChar to numToCodePoint as per your other post. Just minutes ago I received a quote of the day email from my uncle that said: Fix the roof whilst the sun is shining. So to rephrase Richard and Paul: 4.5's
