General requirement

There are several things you need to make sure before starting an installation. Some are required, and some are strongly suggested.

• You need a compression software as all modules are compressed with gz. On a *nix platform, all you need to do is to use the command: gunzip *.gz with * being the name of the package. On other platform, you will need other decompression tool: pick your favorite one.
• You will need a text editor which does NOT wrap. Hence, turn it OFF before porting objects!
• We stringly suggest that you use a MOO editor to port object. Telnet is usually a bad idea and will make your life miserable. Good free MOO clients are TkMOO and tf.
• When porting objects, do not copy and paste the whole thing at once! We strongly suggest that you port all the properties first, then one verb at the time. Make sure you watch your MOO responses after each porting.
