ack.

Like almost any other linux application it can be run on windows with the 
aid of cygwin or a virtual machine. But there is no native port to 
windows and chances are, there won't be one in the near future.

Wikipedia articles should not be written by the authors of the topic. 
Their role makes it hard to avoid achieve the necessary neutral point of 
view (NPOV). Because of this, articles written by those who are involved 
in the creation of the subject are frowned upon.

Both wikipedia articles are in poor shape and need to be enhanced. Why 
don't you grab your keyboard and start editing the article?
