Re: Scrollable bash and print to logfile

Julie,

   Given the short amount of time it takes to do a reinstall, I would take that
approach.  The only thing you have to be aware of is that if you do it too 
often,
your path as set in your autoexec.bat gets clogged with multiple copies of the
swarm paths because they don't get deleted with uninstall.  Eventually, you 
should
go in and clean them out.

Cheers,
