[Tutor] os.spawnv OSError errno 2 No such file or directory

[Isaac]

Wow Richard. Thank you.  You're a lifesaver.

Now I just need to decide if I have time to re-do the workaround I built using
os.system().

I'm going to post this on dejanews -- someone there had the same problem and
never got it figured out, I believe.  (back in February)

(BTW, I did look at my version of msdn, and didn't see anything about this.  My
version came with VS 6.0, and is probably not up to date.)

Thanks again!

Best,
Isaac
