- Thanks for your interest in a hobby project of mine! As (I hope) was
- clear from the announcement, my conversion program is written in
- Python, an object-oriented programming language that I developed for
- my own use (but which is gaining popularity all over the world, and
- freely available, and even being supported).
-
- Here is the source for the Python program that I use. You need a
- (minimal) Python interpreter to run it; that, you can fetch by
- anonymous ftp from ftp.cwi.nl [192.16.184.180], directory pub, files
- python0.9.6.tar.Z (source), pythondoc-ps0.9.6.tar.Z (PostScript of the
- documentation). (Files with [pP]ython0.9.7 in their name are part of
- the beta release of version 0.9.7 -- fetch at your own risk.) I hope
- you're familiar with building large C programs under UNIX, otherwise
- you'll need more hand-holding building Python than I can provide...
-
- Cheers,
