Hi William, sage list. thanks for this. I am used to linux (sage works fine for me on Suse) but windows is new to me.
I have downloaded and installed VMWare Player (after a lengthy registration process) and the "Welcome to VMWare Player" window is open. Next problem. The readme says: 4. Double click on sage_vmx in the sage-vmware-x.y directory to run SAGE. I do not have a file called sage_vmx. I have lots of files like "sage-vmware-4.4" and SWAP and "vmware-0" and a directory called appListCache. What do I do? (or, better, please point me to a README for windows newbies).
