Wow. I wonder, since you're already poking around with extremely
legacy stuff, would it be easier for you to use OS/2 instead of Win2K?
Paul Smedley still produces OS/2 builds of Python, and OS/2 itself
runs happily under VirtualBox (we have an OS/2 VM still on our network
here, and I use Python to manage its backups). Might not end up any
better than your current system, but it might be!
