I'm surprised this error occurred.  I don't see how this could occur
unless a new PATH directory failed to be created, and I don't see that
could happen unless you were out of disk space.

Perhaps you installed the demos package?  That adds the swarm-2.0.1\bin
to the PATH, where the demo executables are provided.

Use the `kaffe' script if you want to run ordinary Java programs.
Use the `javaswarm' script to run Swarm Java programs.
Use the `javacswarm' script to compile Swarm Java programs.

It's the first argument to Globals.env.initSwarm.  (Look in StarHeatbugs.java.)
