==========================

Point your browser to http://pysol.tsx.org
The PySol Gallery is awaiting your visit as well.


What do I need to start playing ?
=================================

PySol requires Python 1.5.2 and Tcl/Tk 8.0.5. Both packages are
freely available for Unix, Windows 95/98/NT and Macintosh.

BTW, there is no need to compile anything since the whole program
is just a Python script. Just run it, and that's all.

The Windows version ships as a completely self-contained setup file.
