Check the README file in the archive for more information. You can also
find more information on Python at my Python WWW page;
<http://www.cs.vu.nl/~irmen/python.html>.
IMPORTANT:
Please let me know if you find any errors, encounter problems, or have any
suggestions! But, as I work on this in my spare time, don't expect
miracles...
SUGGESTION:
Unpack the archive to where you want the program to be. The installation
will then be performed much quicker.
