I have update the install page adding a setup paragraph.

You have to run two procedures which are into the .VMS directory:
@logicals [/system]
define global logicals
@setup
define a few symbols and logicals.

I have suppress the warning into the new kit MIXLINKAGE.

the linker warning about DECC$PUTCHAR, mean that there is probably into one the
various libraries (not into the Python core) there is a redefinition of putchar,
if I remember correctly there is a Putchar or PutChar somewhere.

Thanks for testing.

ps.
I have put a zip file with Python 2.3 alpha.
Even it is a alpha version it seem to run very well, may be better than the
2.1.3 version.
This version also include more modules. 
You will probably need a ODS5 volume because in this version there are modules
with the same name, only the case differ.
