Hi all,
   I'm happy to announce the release of pywin32 build 218.  This release 
has addressed a number of issues with previous builds, has improved 
support for Python 3.3 and a number of new features - I've appended the 
change log at the end of this mail.

As always, thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, both in

release - thanks!
