Yes, and every one of them perfect, albeit each in its own unique way
<wink>.  I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but, in the end, even you would have
rather done the Win64 port from scratch than try to close the HPUX bugs
still open.  Heh heh.

Of course I wasn't serious about that.  To judge from a decade of
Unix-newbie postings to c.l.py, we should rename the executable there to
phyton.  That's what they think the language is named anyway.
