  .py isn't the point as somehow the modules i am 
using compile C code during the install.  i'd be 
happier if they didn't, but i don't have a way to
easily generate those files myself that i know of.

  depends upon the versions...

  i have some pretty ancient Windows/DOS programs
that work fine under dosbox in my Debian Linux testing
setup.  i haven't checked them out lately though to
see if they're still runnable (good chance they're
ok).  been busy with other things and besides i 
finally moved the ancient spreadsheets from Multiplan 
to Libreoffice.
