Strategist Install

First, Get a Java™ Runtime

In order to run Strategist, you will need to have a current version of Sun Microsystem's Java™ Runtime Environment.
The most current version is 1.3.1. If you do not have it installed, or need to install a new version, you can download it from here:

Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition including Java™ Plug-in Version 1.3.1 for Microsoft Windows (around 5 megs)
Other Java™ 2 Runtime Environment downloads

unzip the zip file.

if you are reading this, you already did that! Unzip this file to a directory on your machine.
It includes 3 files. strategist.bat, strategist.jar, and xmlparserv2.jar and this readme.

To Run on Windows

Make a shortcut to the strategist.bat file and place it on your desktop, or browse to the file, and double click it. This will launch strategist.
(you may see a dos window appear, then disappear) Since this is a beta release, there's no real install, etc. That will come eventually!

Non-Windows Platforms

If you want to run this on non windows platforms, you'll have to set that up yourself. look at the strategist.bat lines that set the classpath and start the app. You'll have to do something similar.
