Gordon, First of all, thanks very much for posting your paper about compiling Python extensions with Borland's free compiler. I haven't tried it out yet but am looking forward to experimenting with this next week. I also wanted to check to see if you are familiar with the work going on in the Distutils-SIG (which will become part of the standard Python library in Python 1.6): http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig Their support for building Python extensions under Windows is currently limited to Microsoft Visual C++. I'd like to work-up a new module for the distutils which would also the support use of Borland's C++ compiler, based on your instructions (and with all appropriate credits, of course). Had you planned to look at that, or do you know if anyone else is? I obviously don't want to duplicate anyone else's efforts... Lyle
