Re: Fame at last!

Phil,

Congratulations!  I have been away from programming
for a while, but I think I may start getting bak to it
soon.  I am now using PCLinuxOS (and loving it), and
since it is closely related to Mandriva, I think I am
going to give your RPM a try.  And, I think I am going
to recommend PythonCard for inlusion in their
repositories.

Cheers!
