It would take infinite time to download and compile Python distribution if all possible modules and extensions come in. I want to keep the Library as little as possible. Download, compile and install only those extensions you need. > Randall Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann National Research Surgery Centre phd2 at email.com Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
