   Another example of the synergy that Free Software programs derive from   
   working together in a way that proprietary packages simply cannot do   
   :   
      
       This is a fine example of how chaining various programs together can   
       achieve astonishing effects with some elbow grease and know-how, and   
       it's also one reason why this program doesn't play well with Mac or   
       Windows systems. The expected array of helper programs just isn't   
       available on those platforms.
