Dave,

Hmmm.. while googeling I also found it, and an APK to it.  But as it 
presented itself as a layer upon which scripting interpreters could be 
installed (read: it doesn't offer any scripting capabilities itself) I 
decided to see if simpler solutions where available.

Thats a +1 for termux I guess. :-)

I also encountered that one, but its what I'm trying to evade, having to use 
a PC.   You see, I don't think that my old 'puter running XP (or a single 
other one running Win7) wil be able to run stuff like that.

Any ideas about using a Raspberry Pi for it ?

I have absolutily zero problems with staying outof googles garden.
