Thanks to Burt, Darrell and "SqueezeKey" for their
responsiveness. You'd think I'd know by now that Windows
can mangle the case of filenames in highly imaginative ways.
http://starship.python.net/crew/gmcm/install.html now points
to the right beta page, and rev a of the beta:
Installer_b_03a.exe.
(GetModuleFileName returns the case-preserved name on NT,
and all upper case on Win9x. Meanwhile, in updating my
starship pages, Samba - probably Window's fault - lower
cases all the names when I copy to my Linux box. Then,
despite the fact that HTML is case-insensitive, links served
from starship are case sensitive; so I frequently have to fix file
names twice before they work!).
