Hey, if it's just closed to whining Linux dweebs, what's the problem?
Thousands of hams think it's a great deal. I haven't seen any evidence that
the Linux folks are missed.... Not at all!

;-) Just yanking your chain. It's written for "Winders" because that's
what over 90% of all hams use. The guy could have written it for Linux too,
but then he'd feel obligated to write it for the C-64, the Amiga, the Mac,
and all the other third-weenie stuff. If you do it for one odball system,
they expect you to do it for them all, so the author drew the line at
"Winders".
