WST Release 2019

Please be aware that the build is fragile - it may require older versions of python that you are using, and it may be require installation of older MSVS runtime libraries.

If you are interested in running WST, by far the best method is to download and build on a Linux machine. If you have not run WST before, we suggest that you look into libraries under active development, such as WNTR along with Chama and Pecos.
