That requires XP, but while I was looking it up I ran across an article that suggested using both .com and .exe versions of the same program, where the .com is a console version, and the .exe is the GUI version linked to by any installed shortcuts. Apparently, you can have a .com file whose contents are actually an .exe. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
