RE: [misterhouse-users] Version 2.24

No, what's best would be a unix tar.gz version.  MisterHouse bills itself
as an "open source, multi-platform, home automation program" (from the web
page).  Having a windows .zip file with ^M's all over the place is not my
idea of multi-platform.  How many other multi-platform open source
programs out there have only a windows file format available for
download?  Is it that difficult to take the files from the .zip, run
dos2unix on them, and tar/gz them up?  Basically, imnsho a tar.gz version,
in addition to the .zip is the right thing to do(tm).
