Hello Ludo'
I am new to the opensource world & coundnt understand some of your more
cryptic directions. I couldnt get the head or tail of the os deppendency
file. Perhaps you could ask me some questions like wether stack grows from
top or bottom & like to make me understand what the file requires.

Its nice to do new things.

I will have a look at that after I get more understanding about the
