Tim Peters 6e13a562ae Enable large file support on Win32 systems. Curious: the MS docs say stati64 etc are supported even on Win95, but Win95 doesn't support a filesystem that allows partitions > 2 Gb. test_largefile: This was opening its test file in text mode. I have no idea how that worked under Win64, but it sure needs binary mode on Win98. BTW, on Win98 test_largefile runs quickly (under a second).		2001-09-06 00:32:15 +00:00

README

Python Misc subdirectory
========================

This directory contains files that wouldn't fit in elsewhere, in
particular the UNIX manual page, an Emacs mode for Python source code,
and a list of Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers).  Some
documents are only of historic importance.
