Hi Mark,

I donwloaded the .tgz format archive of E 0.84 for Windows and I've
had some trouble installing it as recommended. I unzip the archive
(via WinZip) and place it in C:\eights.org with my JRE in the PATH
variable (I'm using JDK 1.1.8 -- the relevant part of the PATH is
"C:\PROGRA~1\jdk1.1.8\bin;" which is where JRE is), yet, when I
double click on the Setup.pif file, a console window flashes some
messages about "Out of environment" and al the .pifs in
C:\erights.org\bin\win32\ mention something about being in the wrong
startup directory (and the header of the dialog box informing me of
this labels itself as "MS-DOS 16 bit subsystem", which I found
interesting.

Any ideas?
