Re: getting started with swarm on windows

[Suman Kanuganti]

For using swarm, u need to have little background on
unix, ofcourse not much. The terminal u get is a unix
simulation shell from where u write and run the swarm
programs, get jheatbugs.tar.gz and try compiling and
running from ur terminal using "javacswarm" and
"javaswarm", by way do u want to go for java or
objective-c? 

coming to windows xp , some programs wont run might be
due to new version of windows, they all work in any
previous versions of windows.try getting latest
binaries for windows version, you can find them on the
swarm sites.

Thanks,
Suman K
