DBANNER

 This file has info on how to install

 -- Quick Install:

 Edit Makefile and change the entry :
DBAN_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/dban/ 
to where you want to put the configuration (and the font) files.

 Then change the entry 
DBAN_INSTALL_BINDIR=/usr/local/bin/ 
to the directory where you want the binary to be installed.

 Then just type make install. (make sure that you have permission to write on 
the directories you specified above).
 That's all!!! Next try the program and read the README.
 For help: "dbanner -h"

 Quick Install  will automatically create a config file and put this config 
and the fonts on DBAN_INSTALL_LIBDIR. The binary (dbanner) will be in 
DBAN_INSTALL_BINDIR.

 Using:
 Just type dbanner -f to see the fonts available, and then dban -f <fontname> 
to play with it. For help, "dbanner -h"


 -- Manual Install:
 
 Well, before compiling the program, edit config.h and set your preferences.
(Make sure to change the DBAN_INSTALL_LIBDIR on makefile to the same value you
put on DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE_DIR at config.h).
 On config.h you can change the name used for the config file (the default is 
.dbanrc), and other options.

 You can change also the font file names to be hardcoded on the binary, and 
then you will not need a config file... (But I think a config file is easyer)

 Then, compile it (make dbanner). Next, put the files on fonts/ directory 
to the directory you want to keep them.
 After that, create the config file (the format is explained on README) for 
the fonts you installed, and put it on the directory you specified on 
config.h (DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE_DIR) or in your $HOME or in the current dir
 Then try the program: dbanner -f. It shoud work. If not, check if it can find
the config file, and if the entries on config file are right.

 Good Luck!
