#198 add this to the readme
I downloaded the linux version and it didn't work. Then
I went on the forums and found this message (I think
this could be added to a faq.txt or readme.txt in the
abc package):

ok, this worked for me, on the 2.4.3 version.
1. Make sure you have installed wxpython.
If you use the gentoo distribution, type "emerge
wxwidgets" to get it, for other distributions check
your package system for it.
2. Fix the python code
Open "abc.py", insert before anything else the line
import sys
now save and quit
do the same for the file "abcoptiondlg.py"
(you may curse whoever left that bit out, if you like)
3. start the program opening a terminal window,
changing your working directory to the extracted
directory ("cd ABC-Linux-V.2.4.3") followed by:
python ./abc.py
Good luck,
weary
oh, and everytime you see an "NameError: global name
'sys' is not defined" error message appear, open up the
last mentioned file before the error message, and add
the "import sys" line there
