[ns] First experience with ns and nam--some basic info needed

In a previous message I mentioned that the Greis tutorial is not where
the NS manual says it is, but I did find it on the main web page.  Now I
am trying out NS and NAM under Windows, having downloaded the prebuilt
versions from the ns-build.html pages.

There is a lot of detail on where to put the _source code_ files for
compiling, but no clue as to where to put the prebuilt NS and NAM.  So
far I have successfully run Greis' first example--partial success in
that it puts out an "out.nam" file then hangs up, whereas the the TCL
script is supposed to start NAM automatically.  I have to use Ctrl-C to
get the prompt back.  Then if I type "nam out.nam" the nam program
starts and I get the picture in Greis' tutorial.

It appears that the ns executable is expecting to call the nam
executable, but can't quite find it.  I have both ns.e and the
downloaded nam file (renamed to nam.exe) in C:\NS-2; it doesn't change
anything to move the name file to C:\NAM.

I think after I get the correct information on these matters of fact, I
can figure out the rest.  Please give me a hint here.

P. S.  I am not on the mailing list.  If you think my questions can be
answered by reviewing past mailing list archives, please tell me where
to access them.

Thanks,
