Thanks to the suggestion of Ihor Rokach to do automated zipping of VPython
components, there are now again (smaller) zip files on the VPython web
site. This is going to make my life a lot easier. I'm now using .bat files
that invoke zip.exe, available at no cost from
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/infozip/Zip.html
To create the full VPython installer package I will continue to use the
excellent Inno Setup freeware from
http://www.jrsoftware.org/
The sharp-eyed observer will note that the Doc and Numeric zip files are a
lot bigger than they used to be. In the Doc zip file, I had previously
failed to include the Numeric documentation (a large pdf file). In the
Numeric zip file, I had previously failed to include all of the components
such as FFT, etc.
