they are, people don't find it because they don't think to look.<br></blockquote><div><br>"people don't find it because they don't think to look."<br>?<br><br>This:<br>"<span class="">I can not even find up to date information on how to *install* current working FFI.</span>"</div></div>was about a working version on linux.
