    12 Compiling:

    13 

    14 1. Extract Files from archive directory 'Python-...' to a directory named

    15    '!Python'.

    16 2. Use a tool like Rename to change filenames from '*/[ch]' into '[ch].*'.

    17 3. Create missing directories with 'amu cdirs'.

    18 4. Build with 'amu'.

    19 

    20 I've only tested Acorn/Norcroft C/C++ 5.30 and amu.

    22 Python now uses the 32 bit libraries from Pace as well as the 32 bit

    23 version of OSLib.

    25 You will also need some additional libraries:
