 The system library shipped with the build can be found in the ''at/'' directory. It includes, among others, some demo applications and additional language constructs (most notably future-type asynchronous message sends). Also, the file ''at/init/init.at'' is loaded by default in each actor created at runtime to intialize that actor's global scope.
-<note>We advise you to add ''iat'' to the ''$PATH'' environment variable, such that ''iat'' can be invoked from any directory. Note also that ''iat'' assumes that the ''java'' executable is available on the ''$PATH''</note>

+**Note to windows users:** ''iat.bat'' has been reported not to work when the ''AT_HOME'' directory contains spaces, so consider placing your AmbientTalk distribution in a directory that does not contain spaces.

+For service discovery, AmbientTalk makes use of IP multicasting. AmbientTalk broadcasts messages to IP 224.0.0.1 on port 4446. Make sure your firewall does not block this port.
