This is to enable easy testing +of (and hacking on) IDLEfork, and will also prevent interfering with the +stable Python IDLE set up in any way. + +To install IDLEfork just unpack the archive into its own directory wherever +you like. To run IDLEfork just go to the directory you unpacked IDLEfork +into and then run 'python idle.py' in an xterm under unix/linux, or +'idle.pyw' under windows 98/2000.
