Re: [orca-list] Update orca

["John J. Boyer" <john boyer abilitiessoft org>]

Hi Didier,

My computer tech had car trouble, but when he got online he ran the compile and the last line of config.log 
is exit 0.
I have several versions of Python, including one for Python 2 that I will have to get rid of.

Thanks,
John
