SET GNTABBER_DIR=C:/Music/GnTabber (or anywhere else you installed the GnTabber but MAKE SURE YOU USE SLAHES (/) AND NOT ANTISLASHES (\) to define the path)

Open the Environment page in the Control Panel/System window

Add the entry GNTABBER_DIR with value C:/Music/GnTabber (or anywhere else you installed the GnTabber but MAKE SURE YOU USE SLAHES (/) AND NOT ANTISLASHES (\) to define the path)

For Mac users : I must confess I did not touch a Macintosh for several years now, but I am sure there is a way to define an evironment variable. If anyone knows how, please send me a mail. Basically you need to set the variable GNTABBER_DIR to the directory you installed GnTabber and you have to make sure you use slashes (/) and not antislashes (\) to define this directory.

For Linux/Unix users : make sure that gntabber.tcl is executable (otherwise use chmod a+x gntabber.tcl) and just type gntabber.tcl in a shell window.

For Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP users : just double click on gntabber.tcl in the Explorer
