Awesome! I took the plunge and installed it.

make tests failed on test 14 for me, but so far things seem to work anyway.

One thing that confused me as a beginner was that I needed a trailing blank

error. Not a big deal now that I know, however.

Looking forward to learn more. Thanks again!

Regards,

Kyle
