Multilink/Installation


Installation procedure
======================

    You need to install one half of multilink on the UNIX host you dial
into and the other half on your Amiga.

    On the Amiga:

        Put "mlink" and "mlink.info" somewhere where you can find them.

    On your UNIX host:

        If it's not there already, upload "mlink.tar.gz" to your UNIX
        host.

        Type "gunzip mlink.tar.gz" to uncompress the tape archive.

        Type "tar -xvf mlink.tar" to extract the files from the archive.

        (If your host has GNUtar, you can substitute "tar -zxvf
        mlink.tar.gz" for the above two steps.)

        Build the UNIX-side executable by entering the newly created
        "mlink" directory ("cd mlink") and typing "sh buildmlink".

        It should churn for a bit, print lots of stuff and eventually pump
        out an "mlink" executable in that directory.  This executable is
        the only thing you need for the UNIX side.  You may delete the rest
        after it has compiled.

        If for some reason it failed to build the mlink executable, please
        refer to the troubleshooting of this document.

Once everything is its proper place, you need to configure Multilink to
work properly with your particular setup.
