I just barely salvaged my edits from the message that I attempted to post. Mozilla would not let me save it to a file or a draft. Nor would it let me past it into a VMS Decterm window. I think it used up some process memory resource. I was finally able to paste it into another compose window and e-mail it to myself to preserve it. I am out of time tonight, so I will try to find time again tomorrow night to get this stuff posted. My ISP is having some problems with their news server, so the post may show up. Of course the same could happen with this one. I will only be posting the Python build details and files in the vmsnet.vms-posix newsgroup. -John wb8tyw@qsl.network Personal Opinion Only
