## Important Notes

-
1. The file system from Medley's perspective differs somewhat from the file system from Window's perspective. Specifically, within Medley, the file system root (i.e., "{DSK}/" or "{UNIX}/") is mapped to the ***install_dir*** in the Windows file system. For example, if ***install_dir*** is ***C:\Users\Frank\Medley1***, then the Medley file known as ***{DSK}\<testdir>testfile.txt*** will be located in the Windows file system at ***C:\Users\Frank\Medley1\testdir\testfile.txt***

2. Also, from Medley you can refer to any file on a Windows drive using the reference ***{DSK}/[drive letter]/*** (or equivalently ***{DSK}<[drive letter]>***). For example, ***C:\User\Frank\Downloads\testfile.txt*** in Windows will be ***{DSK}/c/User/Frank/Downloads/testfile.txt*** in Medley.

The Medley-specific Cygwin install is rather minimal, so if you find you need other Linux tools to work with the Medley code, the Cygwin setup tool (which also functions as its package manager) is available at ***<install_dir>\cygwin\setup_x86_64.exe*** (in Windows) or at ***/cygwin/setup_x86_64.exe*** (from within Cygwin bash).
