To create a standard installation of XSig, you need to do the following: -- copy the "XSig" and "XSigIDX" binaries to a directory on your search path (preferably "uubin:") -- copy "XSig.data" to "uulib:" -- edit "uulib:XSig.data" -- create a subdirectory "uulib:XSig" -- copy your cookie file(s) (see file.specs) to "uulib:XSig" -- run XSigIDX on your cookie file(s) to create the index and pointer file(s) That's it. Now you can call "XSig GROUP NEXTSIG QUIET" to get a cookie. Use "XSig >>article ..." to append the signature to a posting. Look at the "XSIGEDIT" script. Ideally you just need to set this as "NEWSEDITOR" in your "uulib:config" file.
