I made a mistake. I should follow the example in the intake-howto by
downloading the Scarab software FIRST.
Scarab has many advanced features and java classes, but using it in
conjuntion with the intake-howto is a bit complicated for beginners like
me to understand.
I would appreciate it if anyone can show me a simpler example on how
intake functions?
thanks
