IDLEfork INSTALL notes
======================

The emphasis in IDLEfork is now for the project to be able to be run
directly from the unpacked source directory. This is to enable easy testing
of (and hacking on) IDLEfork, and will also prevent interfering with the 
stable Python IDLE set up in any way.

To install IDLEfork just unpack the archive into its own directory wherever
you like. To run IDLEfork just go to the directory you unpacked IDLEfork
into and then run 'python idle.py' in an xterm under unix/linux, or 
'idle.pyw' under windows 98/2000. Remember that IDLEfork 0.8.1 and greater 
require python 2.1 or greater.
