    Ok, I will do this. Is the following information correct?

    from http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Installing
    +WOLips:

    If this is wrong, I can delete it. Or should this information be
    contextualized into other documents?

    Well, I will try it. If we can use arbitrary numbers, then that
    documentation can be updated.
