Absolutely correct but you aren't doing anyone any service when you
direct them to your site, to download your version, to read your
documentation, when that person might be looking for a
"weendoze" product. If you are going to continually refer people to
your site whenever anyone asks a question, you should also point out
that your version is UNIX only.
