Help file for amsn Requirements: Amsn is written in tcl/tk, so you just need a working tcl/tk interpreter, version 8.4 or later. You can get it at http://tcl.sourceforge.net. The interpreter is available for linux, windows and macintosh. Some additional features might require extra programs, or libraries, like the docking icon, the Display Pictures, or the SSL connection for MSN Protocol 9. Installation guide: Download the amsn-x_xx.tar.gz file. Untar it with the command: gzip -d amsn-x_xx.tar.gz tar xvf amsn-x_xx.tar It will create a msn/ directory, and amsn is installed and ready to run. To launch it, do: cd msn ./amsn or if this doesn't work, try wish amsn If wish command doesn't exist, then you don't have tcl/tk correctly installed. If "wish amsn" works, but "./amsn" doesn't, edit 'amsn' file and set the correct path to 'wish' in the first line. By default it's set to: /usr/bin/wish If you still have a problem, try using the FAQ.
