Re: swarm on Win95

[Dawn Trembath]

Thanks to everyone for your help.  I actually got swarm and heatbugs to run
this morning.  

I was making things much more complicated than they needed to be.  But, I
had read for months about how tedious it is to install swarm and linux, so
it never occurred to me that I could just click on a few icons and have it
happen.  The Win95 installation really is easy.  

One comment on the following advice, in case anyone else is trying to
follow these procedures:

>To run heatbugs, click on heatbugs.exe (in 
>c:\swarm\swarmapps-1.1\heatbugs folder).  You should see three windows 
>popping up.  Click on "Go" and you should see a window with green dots 
>(heatbugs) moving around.  

I could not get heatbugs to run using this method.  If I tried clicking on
heatbugs.exe, I got error messages telling me that various .dll files
couldn't be found.  (I did let all files install into their default
locations.)  I had to type the command

swarmapps-1.1/heatbugs/heatbugs

while in the /swarm directory to get it to run.  

Once again, thanks to you all for your clear and helpful instructions.
