<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A little bit of progress</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ActivePerl suggests the *.pl extension is
automatically associated with perl.exe - that didn't happen so updated it
manually so now when I double click on tah.pl the previously mention GUI opens.
It still does not run from the Start Menu link though.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is also a ppm which I couldn't run before.
Got it working and installed the 5.8.8 files as indicated on web
page.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In summary</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Start Menu link still doesn't work and I don't
really know what to do with the GUI.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect that this may be to use my PC as a
processor for Osmarendering for the greater good rather than my
own experimental setup.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've download <FONT face="Times New Roman"

succesfully.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the final stage there is a picture (possibly
in Italian) showing a GUI presumable as a hint to change the language to your
own.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On closing the browser window showing this
picture the install GUI highlights the Close button. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I then run the app from the Start menu but all I
see is a quick flicker on the screen (probably Perl trying to start in a DOS
box).</FONT></DIV>
