Installation instructions for icontact:
=======================================

To install icontact, follow these instructions:

  0. Make sure that you have Perl and the NetPBM packages
     installed and in your path.

     NetPBM: ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/packages/NetPBM/
     Perl: ftp://www.perl.com/

  1. Change the first line of the icontact script to invoke perl as
     it is installed on your system.

  2. The xvtoppm filter can be built just by typing `make' (assuming that
     you have a compiler and development system on your machine).

  3. `make install' will install everything for you.  By default, the
     Makefile is set up to install the stuff in /usr/local/{bin,man/man1}.
     You can change this by editing the first few lines of the Makefile.

  4. Read the man pages.

  5. You're done.  Enjoy.

  6. If you like icontact and/or use it often, let me know about it;
     it's incentive for me to update it and write other nifty things.
     If you have trouble installing or running icontact, send a good
     description of your problem to me at mbh@panix.com.  I may be
     able to help.
