ess for win98

[Rich Heiberger]

All the others gave correct information.  I strongly recommend that you
follow Andy Liaw's suggestion and define a proper HOME directory and store
all your personal material in it.  Here is the relevant section from my
class handout:

### 0. HOME directory.

### You need a home directory, the one where you keep all your
### personal subdirectories and files.  On my own machine I use
### c:\rmh\.  On the machines in the Statistics lab, we use v:\, which
### is unique to each individual.  If you will be using the statistics
### machines, get a personal account from me.

### The home directory is where you keep your subdirectories, for
### example c:\rmh\503.f01\, c:\rmh\501.f01\, c:\rmh\letters.home\,
### etc.  Windows defaults to a home of c:\, which is a very bad
### choice as c:\ is where software gets installed.

### On my own machine I use c:\rmh\.  On the machines in the
### statistics lab, we use v:\, which is unique to each individual.
### If you will be using the statistics machines, get a personal
### account from me.

## In Windows 95/98/ME, set the home directory in c:\autoexec.bat
## with, for example, the line
	set HOME=c:\rmh



Since you are a linus user, let me also strongly suggest that you download
cygwin and turn your pc into a unix workstation.
http://cygwin.com
Click on the download icon.  You will get about 110MB of zip files.
The execute
	e:\cyginstall\setup.exe
# When prompted:
# choose next, "Install from Local directory", next, next
# change the "Install Root Directory" to c:/cygwin
# next, next
# wait a long time
# next, ok

If you want X-windows on the PC, then also download the XFREE86 software from
the same cygwin web page.
