I've posted the latest beta of the Py programming language at my website:

   http://www.lanset.com/dcuny/py.htm

New features include:

   - Better handling of indexes
   - Fixed division by zero test in optimizer
   - Better error recovery
   - More error checks
   - Local vars have precedence
   - Line continuation char ('_') in interactive mode
   - Recognizes backslashes in strings
   - Changed 'self' to 'this'
   - Win32Lib version available

Before anyone complains, a couple of minor nits about Win32 mode:

1. It's Slow

Writing to the console in Win32 is *awful*. Does anyone know if calling the
console I/O routines are any faster? If so, do the wrappers exist anywhere?

I could write an emulated console in Win32Lib, which will probably make
wrapping Win32Lib a bit more interesting.

2. The Console Always Appears

This is a mistake on my part. I haven't figured how I want to redirect I/O,
so I'm leaving it alone for the moment.

As usual, bug reports are appreciated.

Thanks!
