Ain't that a dirty hack ;-)

I got the speech prepared: Within this decade, GNU Parallel would be rolled out on all desktops. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win.

And to the foreigners who don't know the husband of Queen of Denmark has just died recently, he finally got the release name:

GNU Parallel 20180222 ('Henrik') has been released. It is available

for download at: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/parallel/

Rest In Peace.
