*** ***Installation instructions:
*** ***==========================

1. Following programs must have been installed on your Linux-box:
***uudecode, gunzip, gcc. Optional: md5sum (for setup integrity check)

2. Copy the whole "OperationFlashpoint" directory from Windows
***to some Linux-directory (OFP). DON'T DO ANY DATA CONVERSIONS
***(even "dos2unix" translation of text files is not necessary).
***Example: you can use PKZIP (WinZip, PowerArchiver, etc.) on
***Windows and "unzip" on Linux.
*** *** Don't use upper case letters in the OFP directory name
***(/home/bob/ofp will be good, /home/bob/OperationFlashpoint
***may cause some troubles).
*** *** OFP directory should contain subdirectories "Addons", "Bin",
*** "Campaigns", etc.

3. Copy the "server-x.xx.shar.gz" (x.xx is version number) file into
***the OFP directory. Unpack and install it with commands:

***ofp$ gunzip server-x.xx.shar.gz
***ofp$ sh server-x.xx.shar

***Watch the messages - they will inform you whether your installation
***is successful.

4. Dedicated server can be started in foreground:

***ofp$ ./server

***Or in background:

***ofp$ nohup ./server > out.txt 2> err.txt &
***[1] <pid>

5. Running server can be stopped by pressing CTRL+C (foreground)
***or by executing:

***&#036; kill -s SIGINT <pid>

***Where <pid> is process-id of mother server thread (printed out in
***"nohup" command).
