For those familiar with Python: This package works much better when used with DJGPP, a full ncurses installation, and the Python 2.2 standard libraries. Dynamic Linking: The Dynamic Linking package (libdl.a) from Andrew Zabolotny has been used in this build, but has not been tested. Dlmodule is part of this port, but has not been tested. Libsocket: Richard Dawe's libsocket port may enable some low-level options, but socketmodule.c still does not compile as of now. Libsocket is not being actively developed. Libxsltmod: Yes, this program should be able to do all of your XSLT 1.0 processing, as well (Actually, my goal is that Python can to the dishes, too, by the time that I'm done with it :-) This has been made possible by Dave Kuhlman's Python wrapper for the Gnome LibXSLT library. See the subfolder XSLT. See http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/libxsltmod.html and http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT.html. Ncurses support: It made it in(ncurses 5.2) but I haven't tested it on systems other than my own. Terminfo is a terminal interpretation database that must be kept in the directory structure in which it comes. Additional terminals can be compiled using the accompanying tic.exe. Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. Its use varies from networking to shell scripting. Ben
