29 The remainder of this section is relevant only if you are not installing
30 Regina via the self-extracing installation.
32 Installation is simply a matter of copying the regina.exe and regina.dll
33 files into a directory specified in your PATH environment variable.
35 If you want to have Regina error messages displayed in you native
36 language, set the environment variable; REGINA_LANG to the two-character

41 If you wish to be able to run Rexx programs automatically, ie without
42 specifying the regina.exe or the file extension, then run the following
43 Windows commands from a command prompt: (you only need to do this once)
45 C:\> ftype Regina=c:\regina\regina.exe "%1" %*
46 C:\> assoc .rexx=Regina
47 C:\> set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.rexx
49 The above commands assume that regina.exe is in c:\regina and that you
50 only want to execute Rexx programs that have an extension of .rexx.
51 Add another ASSOC command to associate files with other extensions.
53 You will probably want to set the PATHEXT variable in the Environment
54 section of the System Control Panel applet.
