Hello.  These are the instructions for how to install the Tell Your Friends 
Script.  You should have the following files...

        * friends.cgi ---- the script
        * readme.txt --- the file you're reading now

If you're missing any of these files, you can download them from
http://www.shavenferret.com/scripts/friends

First of all, open friends.cgi in a text editor.  If perl is not located
at /usr/bin/perl on your system, change the first line of it to #! and then
the location of perl.  If you don't know where perl is, ask your system
administrator, or telnet in and type "whereis perl" at the command prompt.
Scroll down to line 22, and change the variable to the location of sendmail.
Now, scroll down to line 28.  This is the message that will be sent, so you'll
want to modify it for your page.  Remember to put a backslash (\) before any
double quotes, $'s, and @'s.

Upload the friends.cgi file to a directory where you can execute cgi scripts.
Chmod it to 755.  Congratulations, you're done!  The friends.cgi file acts as
both the html file that is used to get the input, and the script that
proccesses it.

If you have any questions, comments, etc, please email me at
clifftm@shavenferret.com
