Setting up the Communication-bar on Winodws NT

• If your system is in the GIT-CC-STATES domain:

  First you need to make the Unix files in /usr/local/happening/ accessible in Windows environment -- telnet to a Unix machine. Then execute this line:

  ln -s /usr/local/happening $HOME Now you have a $HOME/happening/ symbolically linked directory on the Unix side, which is equivalent to H:\happening\ on the Windows side. Note that my home directory is mounted as the H: drive on a Windows machine. Yours may be Z: or something else -- just substitute in the correct one.

  Then run

  H:\happening\happening.exe (or use Z:, depending on where your home directory is mounted).

• If your system is not in the GIT-CC-STATES domain, you can always mirror the Unix directory /usr/local/happening/. Alternatively, get the archive ~happen/windows/happening.zip from any CoC Unix machine, unpack it to your local disk, and run happening.exe in the archive directory.

• Optional: If you want to automatically start the program when you login, create a shortcut to that executable in your personal Startup programs folder. Do NOT use copy, because the executable needs to be with the directory to function.

• Optional: Maybe you want to keep the "What's Happening" window always shown on top of all other windows. You can use the Push Pin for that.
