 If you don't like this restriction, try using straw-viewer instead.

+Further note: I (B. Watson) am no longer updating this SlackBuild
+because I don't care to register for an API key, so I can't test
+it. If you use this and want to take over, please let me know (or
+mention it on the mailing list).
+
+This build will be REMOVED from the repository either in March 2021, or
+whenever Slackware 15.0 releases (whichever comes first) unless someone
+takes over as maintainer.
