 Build the Windows copy on any machine that has the .NET 10 SDK:
 
 ```sh
-./publish-windows.sh        # writes dist/nonemm-win-x64/ and dist/nonemm-win-x64.zip
+./publish-windows.sh   # dist/nonemm-win-x64.zip
+./publish-linux.sh     # dist/nonemm-linux-x64.tar.gz
 ```
 
+Each archive holds the logger (`Nonemm.App`) and the recorder
+(`nonemm-recorder`) as two programs in one folder. Both scripts call
+`publish.sh`, which takes any runtime id, for example `./publish.sh win-arm64`.
+
 On Windows itself, run this from PowerShell instead:
 
 ```powershell
 dotnet publish src\Nonemm.App -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained -o dist\nonemm-win-x64
+dotnet publish src\Nonemm.Recorder.App -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained -o dist\nonemm-win-x64
 ```
 
 The result needs no .NET install. Unzip it anywhere you can write to and run
