QUICK START  for Unix 
-----------
1) Put the binary `atp' in /usr/local/bin  (or anywhere in your path)

2) Chose a place for ATP data and configuration files to reside. A 
   subdirectory off your home directory is good. Set (and export) the
   environment variable ATP to point to the directory that you have chosen.

3) Put the configuration file `atprc' in the directory chosen in step (2). 
   Put the file `taglines.atp' in the same directory. 

4) Edit the following entries in your atprc. When done, if you have a Perl
   interpreter installed, you can then run the script `atpdiag' to check 
   your configuration and setup for you.
   
    a) user = YOUR NAME

    b) editor = your_editor

    c) mail = /your/mail/path/for/new/QWK/packets

    d) reply = /your/reply/path/for/outgoing/rep/packets

    e) charset = latin1

    f) graphics = on

6) Enter `atp' at your shell prompt to start atp.

7) At ATP's prompt enter `load bbsname.qwk' to view your first packet.

8) Type `help' for help, `q' for quit.

9) Read the man pages!

10) The source code for ATP may be had via ftp from:
        sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/BBS/mail/atp-1.50-src.tar.gz
