Description

   Ceilidh is a Web-based threaded discussion engine that features automatic 
   text to HTML conversion, file attachment, e-mail notification and automatic 
   expiration capabilities.

   You must have a web server that provides CGI capability in order to run 
   Ceilidh.

   This version of Ceilidh is freeware, but it is limited to supporting only 
   one forum per web site.  If you would like to license additional forums you 
   should review the license/fee information at http://www.lilikoi.com/cost.html.

   If you would like a foreign language version, Ceilidh is also available in 
   French, German and Spanish.  Please visit 
   http://www.lilikoi.com/windows.html to download one of these.


Installation

   You should follow the installation instructions on 
   http://www.lilikoi.com/install.html, but the following very abbreviated 
   instructions will get you started in most cases.

1. Unzip the archive, allowing it to create spearate directories, e.g., 
   pkunzip -d ceilwine.zip.

2. Copy "ceilidh.exe", "fiddler.exe", "testcgi.exe" and "ceilidh.conf" to the 
   web server's cgi-bin directory.

3. Copy the gif files in "\icons" to a subdirectory of the web data path, 
   "\icons"

4. Make a subdirectory of your web data path named "ceilidh" and copy the 
   Ceilidh index page, "\ceilidh\ceilidh.html" to this directory.

   The web data path must be on a partition that support long filenames.

5. Go for it!

   When you post your first message, the administrative program Fiddler will 
   step in and permit you to adjust the index behavior to your preference.
