1. Install Stella

3. Extract the contents of the bB base build into the new directory.

 

4. Set the following environment variables: (Control Panel, System, Advanced, System Environment)

 

bB=c:\Atari2600\bB

 

This sets the install directory for Batari Basic.

 

path=%path%;c:\Atari2600\bB (Append ;c:\Atari2600\bB to your existing path statement)

 

This insures the bB compiler can work from any command prompt.
