If you're like me, you hate reading INSTALL files, so here is how to do it:
#1. Fill out the following checklist, if you can't check a box, you can't
run the program:
Do you have the following?
a) a net connection
b) a modem (if your modem IS your net connection, you need 2 modems
and 2 lines)
c) a pager, or a beeper, whichever term you prefer (alphanumeric, or
non-alphanumeric doesn't matter)
d) a UN*X system and a shell (you may have to hack it a little for
anything other than bash)
e) half a brain (this one is important)
Now remember, if you said "NO" or even "Uhhhhh..." to any of those you
probably can't use this program.
Now that you've gotten this far, you're ready to install this thing...
It's pretty easy to do really, simply read through 'beepme' and follow
the instructions.
If you're not into hacking you can just set the few env variables and it
should work fine...if you want to play with the program a little more I
put comments all the way through it.
For those who don't like reading INSTALL files and skipped that last
paragraph:
READ 'beepme' AND EDIT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
That should about cover it..
This program is released under the GPL or something, so, like, copy it
and give it to all your friends and sell it to them and...wait...that's
not the GPL....
oh yeah...I remember now...
copy it all you want, but DON'T sell it (like this stupid program is
worth jack sh*t anyhow) and if you modify it, tell me, so I can put your
name on my flame lis....errr my list of credits.
Anyhow, have a nice day.

Feel free to contact me about this program, your cute sister, or the
money you owe me. <jkoplik@bu.edu>
