I've tried installing with the RPM from [1] and from the tarball from [3] and they both fail, so I'm going to abandon this. There is a successor to this called HackEdit that I considered trying, but it hasn't been touched since 2016 either, so if it doesn't work, to heck with it. :-) Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 x86_64
