Introduction

Texpress is the object oriented database engine used by EMu for data management. It provides extremely high speed retrieval, while providing flexible data structures which simplify the overall data module employed by EMu.

The instructions below outline how to set-up Texpress for use with EMu.
They do not detail an installation of Texpress for other non EMu applications on Windows 2000/XP/2003 under Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX. Please see the relevant Texpress documentation for instructions on performing that installation.

In the notes below ~emu is used to refer to the user emu's home directory.
This is normally /dev/fs/C/home/emu.
