<g>  This sounds like the right course to me.  I'd like to force
customers to install Python on their machines, but my boss doesn't think
that's all that great an idea (dunno why).  My only concern is
size--just how big are the executables produced by Gordon's
flummery^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hmagic?

Well, that's two recommendations.  And judging from previous Marc-Andre
packages I've used, it'll be a snap.

Steve Holden, in another post, said that Tkinter should work fine along
with mxODBC.  That's a relief, but does anyone have direct personal
experience with doing so?
