[Idle-dev] No network card, no IDLE

[Bruce Sherwood]

I've found an interesting bug present even in the 0.8.1 version of IDLEfork 
which I installed on my Win98 laptop. (Also present in earlier versions of 
the Scherer IDLE.)

If I don't have a network card plugged in, doubleclicking IDLE does 
nothing! No dialog box -- nothing happens at all. And the network card 
doesn't even have to be connected to anything.

It is true that there is some pseudo-network connection made when starting 
a run (F5), but why doesn't IDLE at least start up in the absence of a 
network card?
