> > These are the steps to install a binary version of Sather on Win32.

> > 1. Download all four files below
> > 1. cygwin
> > 2. X11 libraries
> > 3. Sather
> > 4. X11 server - I prefer a free one.

> > Install all of these files in the root directory of the chosen partition.

> > 2. Change C:\cygnus\cygwinb-20\cygnus.bat to be:

> > @ECHO OFF
> > SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
> > SET CSGUI=/Sather-1.2/bin/sather.win32.config
> > REM SET PATH=c:\cygnus\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\bin;%PATH%
> > SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-I586-cygwin32\bin;C:\Sather-1.2\Bin;C:\usr\X11R6.3\bin;

> > REM Don't forget to set Sather home directory

> > SET SATHER_HOME=/Sather-1.2

> > SET DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

> > bash

> > Problem Solving

> > CONFIG File errors.

> > Whenever you encounter an error about a missing CONFIG file in some directory while runing cs, you might first want to check that the file exists. If it does not you should create an empty file called CONFIG. Add comment line in that file (a comment line begins with '--'). For example:

> > -- This is an empty config file.
