I'm thinking - we need just such a list!
I mean - the only info out there for Win98 users is confusing at best.
What is needed is a VERY SIMPLE explanation - basically, several steps.
Download THIS zip file
Unzip it to THIS directory name
Put the new directory in your path
Type THIS in to test it.
Etc.
I'm someone will do that eventually....until then, I don't have enough free
time to mess around with LegOS...although I love the OS. (I want to be able
to use Arrays!)
