I never claimed to be most Mac or Windows users, but I have Java, Python, Perl, Tcl-Tk and a few other things installed. Because of that, I'd _love_ to see a future full Plucker installer check whether Python already existed (or ask me if it did), and use the existing install if so. I have ActiveState Python 2.2, and the comparable Cygwin port, but Plucker installed its own version of Python 1.5. On that note, is there a simple way to tell Plucker to use the more recent version, so I can delete the 1.5 code? I did RTFM, but didn't happen to see that. It's quite possible I was just blind or stupid when I looked. ______ Dennis
