This web page states that COM can only be used on windows, which
does me no good because I use linux. . The slideshow is in
powerpoint, which I can't view. There is a self-executing
program which I downloaded, but this again only runs on
windows. 

It seems a bit odd that a python programmer would chose a
proprietary source to display his tutorial. Why not use html or
pdf? 

Thanks anyway

Paul
