Installing a new version under Linux
------------------------------------

Insert the media containing the installation files and mount it. Copy the tar file to the directory where you want to install it. Extract it to this directory. Make sure that the executable has execute permissions. If necessary create a link to the executable and place it in your path. The protocol definition files from version 0.5X are not compatible with this version. Do not retain previous protocol definition files.
