** Thank you for the comments:
1- The strange thing is that I went to the dislin directory in the C:
drive and there was no disli.pyd file anywhere. I found the file in
the My Documents subdirectory where I had originally unzipped the
dislin archived files I downloaded and from where I run the setup.

2 - Well I have followed the DISLIN 9.3 inf file for Python 2.5.2 for
Windows. It contains commands for a unix command line "unzip -o
dl_93_py.zip setup first and then... " and then:

" Windows 98/ME

        Add the following commands to the autoexec.bat file

        PATH=c:\dislin\win;%PATH%
        SET DISLIN=c:\dislin
        SET PYTHONPATH=c:\dislin\python

     Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista

        The environment variables can be set or modified with the
        Control Panel
        (see -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment
        Variables)."

 *** I have followed all these directions but DISLIN still does not
shop up as a module when making the Python calls.

It keeps me entertained in spite that my productivity is cero ;-)
