 The first time you start //Git Winch// it will start Chrome browser in //app// mode. That startup will result in over 100Mb (approx) of files needed by Chrome in a sub-folder inside the application folder.

 If you are running a privately hosted version of //Git Winch// you would need to ask the person who gave you the zip file (or you could look inside the //gitwinch.ini// file and read the value given for entry named: //"SystemAPIurl"// and go to the website mentioned there) If you are running a privately hosted version of //Git Winch// you would need to ask the person who gave you the zip file (or you could look inside the //gitwinch.ini// file and read the value given for entry named: //"SystemAPIurl"// and go to the website mentioned there)

 +====Lifetime purchase====
  
 In some seminars/webinars/private-demos we sell lifetime, private //Git Winch// instances. In such a case, your account would be loaded with 5 billion credits ... which is plenty for you and your people to use. Though the system will continue to have the capability to accept payments //(if you really want to give us a gift, for example :-))// but normally in such private installations, you need not make any payments as the credits would be sufficient.  In some seminars/webinars/private-demos we sell lifetime, private //Git Winch// instances.
