Sorry for not providing appropriate detail.  I am working in Windows 98.
It looked to us like RSPython was Unix.

The RSPython package works extremely well.

Duncan, did you ever incorporate Greg Warnes' fixes for formulas?

It probably should be possible to port it over (I'm not going to
comment on the pain involved, though...).

Well, that was a content-free snide remark.  After 30 seconds of
remembering and a brief , I'm going to stick my neck out and say that
it should be reasonably easy, since Python's foreign library loading
mechanism is quite flexible between OS's.
