directory (ie. c:\rapidq\)

optional libraries whenever a new release of Rapid-Q comes
out.
- File association is done manually (this step is
optional)
- Open windows explorer (ie. double click on My Computer)

up to you

whatever you prefer.
- Click New... action should be open, and
associated program should be c:\rapidq\rapidq.exe or
wherever you placed it.

it is)
- The extension .TGZ represents a tar/g-zipped file.
- Open a terminal, or double click on the file if using a
file manager
- If using a terminal, type in the following:
- tar zxvf rqbeta.tgz
- This will create a new directory rqbeta
- cd rqbeta
- ./rc
- If it doesn't run, try changing the file permissions
(should not be necessary)
chmod 700 rc
- Test it by compiling a file
- ./rc columns.bas
- ./columns

file to your rqbeta directory
- Do the samething with this file
