From a80d57c41dfcfd7ae2b45b4987b28fe47ffa9dfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kurt B. Kaiser" Date: Sat, 17 May 2003 03:15:48 +0000 Subject: Noam Raphael's patch. SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" Allows IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory. I took the liberty of moving it to the startup scripts since once IDLEfork is again a part of Python it will be superfluous and I don't want it to be forgotten. But it is very useful for those using IDLEfork standalone!
