Hi,
Yes indeed, Python 2.5 worked and so did numpy and scipy for this
version. Thanks to all for your inputs. There are now issues with
plotting - graph plotting using pylab does not work nor does the Tck-
Tk, but for now I am satisfied. Hopefully I will plod my way through.
I should have read the documentation properly to realize that Win ME
is not supported for later versions,
Thanks again
