Thanks for the explanation of the process.

As far as I can tell from testing, the current download idlefork-0.8.1.zip, 
plus my changes, is equivalent to the original Scherer version (plus bug 
fixes). So after just a bit more testing I intend to replace the original 
version with the new one in VPython distributions.
