This will never work. Python.EXE is a "console" application, and win32s
will never support 32bit console apps - only GUI.

Hmmm. This is strange. I have only tested in 1.15, never on 1.2. Im
afraid I have never seen this. Have you tried any other reasonable Win32s
apps (ie, other than freecell)?

Within a few days, I hope to release a new version, built using MSVC2, so a
whole new round of Win32s problems are just around the corner :-(

Sorry I cant be of more help...
