31 Compiling and Installation
34 tar -xvzf wmbiff-0.x.tar.gz
36 Enter the wmbiff directory and follow INSTALL's directions.
40 For crypto support either:
41 *) Install gnutls and libgrcypt packages from your distribution.
42 *) Download them from http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/download/mirrors.html
43 Choose a mirror, then download from the alpha/gnutls and
44 alpha/libgcrypt directories.
45 *) Do nothing; the configure script will note its absence.
47 NOTE: gnutls-0.3.5 is the version that this release was
48 tested with. Newer versions may have incompatible changes.
56 This will copy the binary to /usr/local/bin
58 Then you need to copy sample.wmbiffrc into your home directory as
59 .wmbiffrc, correct it as you like. Or, you can use the ``-c'' option
60 and specify differrent name of config file.
61 Without any config file wmbiff will use only default mailbox
62 (from environment variable MAIL), labeled with word SPOOL, at first
63 position. All other positions will be empty.

107 Well, wmbiff's author Gennady Belyakov passed away in late November 1999.
108 That's why that url isn't any longer valid.
113 May your soul rest in peace, Gennady.
