Oh what a mess!  Why don't people understand that documentation
does not belong on a web page, but must be included into the
software package itself, such that the user can access it without
jumping through hoops, and such that they get the right version,
matching what they actually have installed?

Dash is no doubt among the most braindead documentation concepts
ever.  Solve a non-issue in a ridiculously overengineered way,
completely missing all real points.

That said, thanks for providing the port.  Since, if braindead
developers make the poor decision to use such utter crap, it may
slightly lessen the suffering of the poor users, if those poor users
don't have the option of avoiding use of that badly documented
software in the first place.

Yours,
  Ingo
