RE: [Bigsister-general] Procs and Uxmon on Windows

["Tod B. Schmidt" <suppressed>]

Thanks a lot for your help, I had unzipped 99b2 over top of 0.97 (by mistake) and naturally that confused things. I hadn't realized 99 did not contain exe's which would have given me a clue.

The other information is all well documented in the release notes for 99b1. I thought I had looked through the documentation pretty well prior to email the list, but obviously not well enough.

Thanks again,
Tod Schmidt

I suspect you have been running the binary version before you switched to 
99b2. This is NOT a binary version. If I'm correct:
- clear out all services related to bs
- install latest Activeperl
- put bigsister in C:\BigSister (if I remember correctly)
- run install32 in the bin directory
- do any of your configuration, start the services, be happy :-9

If it runs, then you have Perl installed. In this case just clear the 
services and run install32.

1. your have to use new syntax, including the DESCR line! (which means 
getting rid of diskfree above)
2. this is case sensitive!

Going to procs.
