Hi, it's a bit crazy to argue that these are the same.
I can send you the images and the scripts, problem solved!
I can't send you the exe file if you're using a different platform.

System calls complicate things a lot.
People might use grep for instance instead of parse, because they know how
to use grep and haven't bothered to look at the docs for parse.
