DDGR

[Ian Jeffrey]

Very many thanks for taking the time and trouble to reply. It is much
appreciated and I have noted all your points.

I am registered at GitHub but on this occasion, it seemed quickest and
simplest to use the Maintainer link which appears on the
DDGR properties tab of the application in Synaptic since Linux Mint 20
is based on Ubuntu 20 and when I tried to download the
PPA: twodopeshaggy/jarun there was an error message to the effect that
the PPA is not supported in focal.

Once again, thanks for your reply.
