Installing SCALA 2.02, and new url for open_etc.zip

Hi John,

I've just seen your post to TL while checking out the download url for
SCALA 2.02.

> Hi Manuel. I get the message "A required .DLL file, GTKADA-1.3.12.DLL,

One needs to either edit the autoexec.bat, or (easier) copy the .dll files to
the Windows system directory after unzipping.

To do the copy, one runs startup.bat

See the readme.txt in the zip.

I wonder if you know about my open_etc.zip file too - you can use it to
add Windows open dialog and copy / paste to the GTK version of SCALA.
It has its own linux style dialog, but windows users may be more comfortable
with the Windows version.

The way it works is that you type in the Scala command line
@open
<dialog is shown, select file from it>
@o
to load the file

Similarly @save. All explained in readme in the zip.

For copy to clipboard, you type @c, then do whatever SCALA commands
to show the output in the window, then use @copy at the end to copy
the output to the clipboard.

This uses an option in SCALA to log the output to a text file, using

file ~copy.txt
to save all the subsequent SCALA output to ~copy.txt.

New url for Open_etc.zip:

(I don't think I'm supposed to link to it directly)
