..well, that's a good start.
I will have to try your installer, too.

..I was also wondering about all those funky 'encoding' files,

eg:

macJapan.enc  48 kb
cp949.enc    130 kb
cp936.enc    132 kb

..and many others

They add up to quite a bit, and I sure don't need all of them.
I probably need at least one, I suppose, maybe ascii.enc (the smallest one
at about 1 kb ).

On a related note, will having too many Tk files increase the run-time
memory usage of an app?  I sent a 'compiled' Tk app to a friend who was
surprised that such a simple little program was using 5MB ram on his Win2K.
I suppose that's 90% Tk overhead, (or is it Python overhead?) but I was
wondering if that memory usage is related to unnecessary Tcl/Tk files being
included?

Thanks for any advice.
