================================================================

   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).
