The installers are now coded to (a) look for Python, (b) offer to install 
Python if it is not found, (c) copy Python stuff to a separate directory if 
Python is not installed.

I think this works, but it should be tested. If things don't work, get back 
to me as soon as possible and I will try to fix it and replace the 
installers on SourceForge.

I thought I did this in 5.06, but if not it will definitely be in 5.07.

Regards,
Mike

That's great Mike. Perhaps you did this already with the d-version of 
Csound but forgot about doing it for the f-version. I will try it out on 
some of the machines at work and see if it works. Thanks again,

Rory.
