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

2) put the configuration file `atprc' in your home directory.
   (or wherever the environment variable ATP points to).

3) put the taglines file "taglines.atp" in your home directory.
   (or wherever the environment variable ATP points to).

4) edit the following entries in your atprc :
   
    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 the 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!

ATP was compiled using GCC 2.2.2d under Linux kernel 0.98pl5 and linked
with the -static option. If you want a smaller executable and you
have the ability to use shared libraries, you may want to recompile atp.
