Re: Swarm on Win95. FAQ entries. Long-lacking guide for ground-level beginners.

Hi
  everything seemed to go smoothly on my installation of 1.4 on NT 4.0, but
after the installation completed (?) I wasn't given the option to reboot,
and nothing was added to my Start menu (except for the Cygwin stuff which
had already been added). My autoexec.bat file is empty but the installation
never complained. What's the Start menu shortcut supposed to point to?
