Mark,

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it! I guess I need to look into 
the GPL compatibility 'side of things'. According to the FSF, the 
current Python license is compatible and I believe the MIT-style license 
is as well.

Thank you for the *excellent* win32 packages!! You have done some great 
work!!
