Also look at the LuaMetaFun manual chapter 8. In fact the whole manual is worth a read. I'm sure you find much of use in it. Best Wishes Keith On Thu, 5 Oct 2023, 20:52 Henning Hraban Ramm, wrote: > Am 05.10.23 um 21:50 schrieb Fabrice Couvreur: > > Hi, > > I would like to obtain, if possible,

Apologies. I realised late last night that I had forgotten to update the paths zint in my shell and after doing that this morning all now works. Apologies again. Thanks for the help. Keith On 20/08/2023 22:05, Bruce Horrocks wrote: On 20 Aug 2023, at 17:28, Keith McKay wrote: Hi all

installed zint with Homebrew. There is a very complicated thread on stackoverflow on how to downgrade to previous versions of a formula in homebrew, but it is far too complicated for my wee brain. Thanks Keith McKay
