You may take home the Virgo tools from here
NOTE: the Virgo software is already installed on the lab machines ... you do not need to install it!
The access to the software was not configured properly, but can be made to work as follows:
Login to your LAB account.
Open My Computer, and then open the P: drive and open the Virgo2.1 folder
Right-click on the assembler.exe program and then Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut)
Right-click on the virgo.bat program and then Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut)
Use the shortcuts that you just created to access the tools.
Sorry for the confusion!
Slides will normally be posted here shortly before needed in lectures. This is to allow students to bring a copy to the lecture. Changes to the slides may occur at any time, even after the lecture, however.
