If there was a unix or linux version the code can no longer be found. Some README.md files refer to this tool. When an author's remarks it will not be removed or updated but if in the judges' remarks it might be moved to a historical note subsection. This will happen in time with additional passes of the README.md files - for most it should be the final pass but the years 2011+ will need a pass before that. --- faq.md | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) diff --git a/faq.md b/faq.md index bac1f261c..0105f01bf 100644 --- a/faq.md +++ b/faq.md @@ -178,6 +178,22 @@ If the entry requires gcc and you did not explicitly install gcc in macOS you will not be able to run or use these entries.
