ATPDIAG(1) ATP QWK Mail/News Reader ATPDIAG(1)
NAME
atpdiag - checks atp qwk reader configuration.
SYNOPSIS
atpdiag [ -h | -v | --help | --version ]
DESCRIPTION
A diagnostic script written in Perl, useful during instal-
lation of ATP QWK news/mail reader, and for diagnosing
possible configuration problems. When started, atpdiag
looks for the environment variable ATP. then searches for
the configuration file atprc. If that file can be suc-
cessfully opened, atpdiag parses it, checking specified
paths and support programs for existence and accessibil-
ity. Informational, warning, and error messages are dis-
played.
Perhaps the most common ATP installation error is the
failure to set and export the ATP environment variable.
Normally this should be done in the user's shell startup
file such as the .profile in the user's home directory.
ATP expects the environment variable ATP to point to the
directory where ATP will keep its atprc configuration
file, taglines.atp tagline file, and message bases.
Another possible ATP configuration problem occurs when
using Info-Zip UnZip 5.11 and later. These recent versions
of UnZip require the -L flag when un-zipping certain qwk
packets originating in the MSDOS world. Previous to UnZip
5.11, the default behavior for UnZip was to translate
MSDOS file names to lower case on unzipping. Now you must
request lower case translation explicitly by adding the -L
flag to your unzip command in your atprc. This may also
be accomplished by setting and exporting the UNZIP envi-
ronment variable.
When run, atpdiag will attempt to detect your UnZip ver-
sion and report if the configuration appears wrong.
