installing from CD to Win 32

[Pietro Terna]

        Hi All,

        here you have a list of small problems that I've encountered in several
Swarm 1.3.1 installations (with Windows 95 or 98), starting from the CD-ROM.

        Yous, Pietro

1. If Swarm 1.3 hase been previously installed on your PC, the new
installation probably fails in correcting the autoexec.bat file (new path
is incorrect; many 'set' lines are written without the set keyword); the
simple solutionse is that of purging by hand the autoexec.bat file before
installing the new version, eliminating swarm and cygnus references in path
and the set lines related to swarm and cygnus.

2. To apply the patch from GNU Win32 19 to 19.1, it is necessaty to copy by
hand the file cygwinb19.dll from \Swarm-1.3.1\bin\ to
\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32\bin\

3. It is good to correct, in autoexec.bat, the line
HOME=c:\
in 
set HOME=c:\
