Hi, Ralph!

BTW, it seems that the above hack to avoid the URL rewriting didn't work
because the URL still got rewritten:

  epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2024/msg00801.php

[Undid the below URL rewrite, and removed the scheme to prevent another
rewrite.]

Is the no-space-or-parentheses-in-paths restriction specific to Windows?
If not, I think it should be added to the other platform-specific
installation sections as well (i.e., each "Installation on [platform]"
section).

Thanks,

Lewis
