         News regarding these platforms with more recent Cygwin
         versions would be appreciated!
 
-AtheOS: Official support has been stopped as of Python 2.6.  All code will be
-        removed in Python 2.7 unless a maintainer steps forward for this
-        platform.
-
-        From Octavian Cerna <tavy at ylabs.com>:
-
-        Before building:
-
-            Make sure you have shared versions of the libraries you
-            want to use with Python. You will have to compile them
-            yourself, or download precompiled packages.
-
-            Recommended libraries:
-
-                ncurses-4.2
-                readline-4.2a
-                zlib-1.1.4
-
-        Build:
-
-            $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/python
-            $ make
-
-            Python is always built as a shared library, otherwise
-            dynamic loading would not work.
-
-        Testing:
-
-            $ make test
-
-        Install:
-
-            # make install
-            # pkgmanager -a /usr/python
-
-
-        AtheOS issues:
-
-            - large file support: due to a stdio bug in glibc/libio,
-              access to large files may not work correctly.  fseeko()
-              tries to seek to a negative offset.  ftello() returns a
-              negative offset, it looks like a 32->64bit
-              sign-extension issue.  The lowlevel functions (open,
-              lseek, etc) are OK.
-            - sockets: AF_UNIX is defined in the C library and in
-              Python, but not implemented in the system.
-            - select: poll is available in the C library, but does not
-              work (It does not return POLLNVAL for bad fds and
-              hangs).
-            - posix: statvfs and fstatvfs always return ENOSYS.
-            - disabled modules:
-                - mmap: not yet implemented in AtheOS
-                - nis: broken (on an unconfigured system
-                  yp_get_default_domain() returns junk instead of
-                  error)
-                - dl: dynamic loading doesn't work via dlopen()
-                - resource: getrimit and setrlimit are not yet
-                  implemented
-
-            - if you are getting segmentation faults, you probably are
-              low on memory.  AtheOS doesn't handle very well an
-              out-of-memory condition and simply SEGVs the process.
-
-        Tested on:
-
-            AtheOS-0.3.7
-            gcc-2.95
-            binutils-2.10
-            make-3.78
+Windows: When executing Python scripts on the command line using file type
