crowd

Hi, Gary --

It sounds like directory problems. The Crowd program is set up to run
within a directory called \crowd, the initial backslash indicating that
this directory is directly under the root directory. You will find that
on the floppy, the items you note, namely

crowd.exe
itan
scos
params <dir>

are all in the \crowd directory, with "params" being a subdirectory
within the crowd directory.

Instructions: in the root directory, do

mkdir \crowd

Then

cd \crowd
mkdir params

Then

copy a:\crowd\*.*

copy a:\crowd\params\*.* \crowd\params

You can then start the crowd program from the \crowd directory just by
typing "crowd".

If you're running under windows, the best thing is to create a batch
file, crowd.bat, which says

c:
cd \crowd
crowd

Then set up a "new" program that calls this batch file. The working
directory should be set to c:\crowd

It's always faster, of course, to run under DOS -- no overhead to run
Windows.

Bill.
