Hi. And many thanks for your efforts!

I can now see two new LD images but I do not understand the naming.
There are two "jfppy0700a_278.zip", one with, and one w/o, ";1".
And then one new "jfppy1400a.zip".

You wrote that "most of the libraries and Python 2.7 for AXP has
been updated". Should one of these been named "jfplibxxxxx.zip"?

You also mention Python 3.10a0.

But "https://docs.python.org/dev/" says:

Docs by version:
Python 3.10 (in development)
Python 3.9 (pre-release)
Python 3.8 (stable)

Any specific reason to port a "in development" version?
Or have I missed that 3.8 is already ported (?).

Best Regards, Jan-Erik.
