DFKI Oz 2.0 for Windows 
If you can read this, your browser provides insufficient support for style
sheets. The visual presentation of this document will suffer.
This version of Oz has been
tested under Windows 95 and NT 3.51/4.0
How to Install
Installing Oz needs to be done in two steps.
- You have to
install GNU Emacs first.
- Afterwards you install Oz. (If you upgrade to
a newer version of Oz you only have to perform the second step).
Thanks to Freeman
Installer, the installation process has now been simplified a lot.
Installing Emacs
Download emacs-19.34.6.exe,
execute it, and follow the instructions.
More information about GNU Emacs for MS Windows can be found under
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html.
Installing Oz
Get oz-2.0.4b.exe,
execute it, and follow the instructions.
This updated version fixes some problems when installing Oz under a
pathname containing spaces.
Known Bugs and Limitations
So far most of the functionality of the Unix versions of Oz are
supported with the following exceptions:
- Standard Windows path names are supported.
Since '\' is an escape character you have to duplicate all backslashes
however. So use
\insert 'C:\\somedir\\path.oz'
- System.time works only correctly under Windows NT. Under
Windows 95 it returns realtime since start of Oz.
- Earlier versions had problems when being installed under a
directory who's pathname contained spaces (like "c:\Program
Files"). Version 2.0.4b fixes these problems.
If you installed one of the earlier versions, you also have to
reinstall Emacs.
Comments are very welcome!
