This package contains the last version of PMX - 2.0.4gu beta
It already has all fixes applied

To install

1) Unzip the package into a temporary directory
Which you have already done if you are reading this

2)  BACKUP YOUR MPTN & TCPIP DIRECTORIES
Or better yet, your whole boot drive.
For example: from the root of your boot drive

3) BACKUP YOUR DESKTOp.

4) From the command prompt, run TCPINST.EXE

The installer will provide you the opportunity to
select a location for the installation. I suggest a separate
directory from MPTN


TCPINST.EXE will take a LONG time to complete - approximately 2 - 5 minutes or
longer. Be patient.

TCPINST.EXE may fail at the very end when attempting to create the desktop.
But it will probably be installed correctly.

Even though TCPINST showed an error at the end, when installed on eComStation it created
the PMX objects in the Local System - Network - TCPIP folder


5) If you want to also create a PMX folder on the desktop
EDIT PMXDESK.CMD and change
TARGET_DIR = 'C:\PMX'
on line 15 to the directory where you specified PMX to be installed,
and then run PMXDESK.CMD.


6) Check that your HOSTS file, located in C:\MPTN\ETC is correct. If not
copy back the one you saved in step 2.

7) Reboot

8) To test the system is working
 a) start the x windows server (xinit.cmd)
 b) then run the program xhello.exe located in the C:\PMX\BIN directory
    - where C:\PMX is where you installed PMX.
 This should display a small X Windows window with the message Hello, world.
