Because I'm just a simple soul who never got round to leraning how to use C, no
matter what version.
Besides, when considering whether I should make a DOS-version I realized I'd
have to wade through a whole bunch of docs to find out how to use
TrueType-fonts.
It was just an afternoon-project which I needed for some simple thing and which
turned out to work better then I had hoped for. I thought perhaps someone else
could do something nice with it, so I put it online. Sorry I excluded the
non-Windows users or, for that matter, the people who don't have computer at
all.
But you're free to port it to whatever platform you like. You probably won't
even need my source-code because it's ridiculously simple. Be my guest.
Meanwhile, next time I'll take your remarks into consideration.

Regards,

Remco
