We should priviledge a free program with a maximal compression rate for
people with a slow internet connection. How does RAR compare to bzip2?

The Linux version does come with wheel-mouse support. X sees wheel-mouse
scroll events as pressing the 4-th and 5-th buttons of the mouse.

I doubt that; I rather think that it is quite hard to fully mimick
what X does, just because X is so weired and I personally had a very
hard time at getting the menus to work "correctly".

Hmm....I'll look into this one as well, thanks.
I already noticed that problem too. The point is that "grep"
is not present on Windows. Don't bother about this one too much though;
the help system is quite slow anyway and we will eventually have to
program something better. If you find a Windows equivalent for "grep",
then this will temporarily do the job.
