- Download latest ActiveTcl (latest in the 8.4 series from
  http://www.activestate.com) and install in C:\Tcl for example as
  suggested.

- Download latest BLT library (2.4z or above, from
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/blt/, files section), download
  blt24z-for-tcl84.exe, execute, force installation in SAME
  directory as above (C:\Tcl for example).

- Launch wish, then type the following commands at the wish window
  prompt:
    % package require Tktable
    2.8
    % package require BLT
    2.4
  which should give no errors.

- Unzip moodss distribution (creates its own sub-directory such as
  moodss-18.0).

- Launch moodss.tcl from its OWN directory (important). For example,
  by double clicking on moodss.tcl from the explorer, or creating a
  shortcut where you specify the moodss installation directory as
  initial directory (for example C:/Program Files/moodss-18.0).
  Then use File/Modules/Load or load an existing dashboard file using
  File/Open.

- If you would like to be able to print the moodss windows (on a color
  printer), install the latest Tkprint at
  http://pages.infinit.net/cclients/files/tkprint1.1.html

- Optionally install tclodbc (from
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclodbc, download the latest tclodbc
  zip distribution, unzip in own directory then run SETUP.TCL.

- If you installed tclodbc above, you also need to install MyODBC
  (from http://www.mysql.com) for MySQL modules to work.

- for MySQL database access, you may also try mysqltcl (not tested)
  (http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/windows.html)

- For remote monitoring (modules that support the -r(--remote)
  option), install the excellent putty free software (putty.exe,
  pageant.exe, plink.exe, ... from
  http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)
  Then, to connect to a UNIX machine (briefly):
  - generate a private/public key on Windows using puttygen.exe
  - paste the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on UNIX
    followed by username@address (of the Windows PC)
  - launch pageant.exe on Windows and load the private key
  - test that it works with putty with connection auto-login username
    set: you should get into UNIX without entering any password or
    phrase
  - with moodss remote capable modules, use -r ssh://name (where name
    is a putty session) module option

- For SNMP monitoring, scotty is required (use the latest release from
  http://spog.gaertner.de/~schoenfr/scotty/).
