Make a source distribution

Though there will be rarely need for List functions: thisthis, but maybe Flow control: if … thenif you changed a bit which i don't like ;-) you can make your own source distribution just by running:

On Installation: MacOS XMacOS X vipsi can be installed as on any other unix-style OS. Here are additional platform-specific hints. These Vipsi command syntax: Instructions

Installing the application

To start vipsi you will need a terminal window. Flow control: if … then
Flow control: try … thenThe terminal application can be found in Applications/Utilities Operators: Boolean And with Variable "&&="

Operators: Bitwise And "&"
Operators: Boolean And "&&"and is named Terminal.

You can extract Flow control: if … then
