MultiMail installation procedure
================================

1. Make sure any needed packages are installed --
    In addition to the MultiMail package itself, you'll also need InfoZip
    or PKZIP (and/or LHA, ARJ, etc.) to uncompress the packets and
    compress the replies. InfoZip is available from:

    ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/

    PKZIP is at:

    ftp://ftp.pkware.com/

    (PKZIP is the default for DOS; InfoZip is the default for other
    platforms.) The programs should be installed somewhere in the PATH;
    otherwise, the full path must be specified in ~/.mmailrc.

    To compile MultiMail, you'll need curses -- either ncurses, SysV
    curses (e.g., Solaris curses), or PDCurses. You can get ncurses from:

    ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses/

    PDCurses is available at:

    http://www.lightlink.com/hessling/#PDCURSES

    (If you're using Linux, odds are that you already have ncurses and
    InfoZip.) Also, bear in mind that MultiMail needs the C++ standard 
    libraries, not just C.

    Note that although DJGPP comes with PDCurses 2.2, I've made some
    changes that depend on 2.3.

2. Configure it (for compilation) --
    Check the options and paths in the Makefile. If your curses header
    file is not in /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h, change CURS_INC and/or
    CURS_DIR as appropriate. (CURS_DIR may need to be set even if curses
    is installed in /usr/include/ncurses.) If the curses library is not
    in the linker's search path, specify the directory in CURS_LIB.

3. Compile MultiMail --
    At the base directory, type: make

4. Run it --
    Type: ./mm
    (For DOS, OS/2 or Win32, set the MMAIL or HOME variable, then run mm.)

5. (Optional:) Configure it (for end user) --
    Edit the ~/.mmailrc file. (For DOS, OS/2 or Win32, mmail.rc.)

6. (Optional:) Install it system-wide --
    Type: make install
    to install the manual and binary under /usr/local
    (requires root access). (This doesn't work in DOS, OS/2 or Win32.)

See the man page (mmail.1) and README for more information.

This package includes some example color schemes, in the "colors"
directory. How or whether you install these is up to you. (If you want to
use them, I suggest putting them in your "mmail" directory. To select one,
alter the "ColorFile" keyword in .mmailrc to point to it.)
