-
- The demo as distributed works, I have it working.
-
- It's a ZIP file containing a self-extracting ZIP file (!). First unpack the
- outer ZIP however you like (the -d option will have no effect here).
-
- Then unpack the self-extracter something like this:
-
- c:
- mkdir xwin
- cd xwin
- xwindemo -d
-
- It will unpack a whole wad of files, preserving the directory structure
- required. Now copy MXWIN.INI to your Windows directory and edit it to make
- sure that the paths point to wherever you actually installed it (it assumes
- c:\xwin, so igf you installed it there, no edits are required).
-
- Go into Windows again, create an icon for it, and try it out. The only problem
- I've had is that it interferes with PC Eudora (well, lets just say PC Eudora
- won't fetch mail while Xwin is active).
