+Commands to be executed are put in run.sh files in the two directories.
+
+On Linux, you can execute them as follows:
+
+  cd myaccountslib
+  ./run.sh
+  
+  cd ../myapp
+  ./run.sh
+
+#### Exercise for Windows users ####
+
+Jump to myaccountslib directory.
+
+Copy the content of run.sh and save in a file called run.bat.
+
+Modify run.bat with commands that can be executed in a Command Prompt to
+accomplish the same operations found in run.sh. Look at the NOTES section below
+for assistance.
+
+Run the batch file (run.bat) as follows:
+
+  .\run.bat
+
+Do the same for the run.sh file found inside the myapp directory.
+
+So on Windows, the commands may be executed as follows:
+
+  cd myaccountslib
+  .\run.bat
+  
+  cd ..\myapp
+  .\run.bat
+
+
+NOTES:
+
+While coming up with run.bat files on Windows,
+
+  1. The initial '#!/bin/bash' line is not needed.
+  
+  2. Instead of '#' character to comment lines of text, use '@REM' without quotes.
+  
+  3. To delete a directory with content inside, you can use the rmdir command like this:
+      rmdir /s /q "Path\to\directory"
+
+  4. Windows uses '\' as the directory seperator instead of '/' in Linux.
+
+  5. Windows uses ';' as the path seperator instead of ':' in Linux.
