	Here are guidelines how to install alicq on different platforms.

	

     * Unix:

   Make sure you have tcl, tk (8.3 or greater) and bwidget installed. To
   connect through HTTP proxy with authorization, install tcllib. To
   play sounds on incoming messages, install sox. To try experimental
   OpenPGP encryption support, install GnuPG.

	tar xzf alicq.tar.gz
	cd alicq
	./alicq.tcl

   At that point it will parse your .licq/ (if you have one) and start
   working. If you don't have Licq or want to configure Alicq, copy
   alicqrc.example to ~/.alicqrc or ~/.alicq/alicqrc, and edit it to get
   configuration you like. You can also use tools/convert.tcl to convert
   your Licq contacts to Alicq format.

     * Windows:

   In Windows, you should get ActiveTcl installed (it includes bwidget),
   and put configuration file with name alicq.cfg at %USERPROFILE%\alicq
   or at Alicq starting directory. (%USERPOFILE% points to folder with
   user settings in Windows NT/2000.)

   Note: if you want send/receive messages in encoding, different from system
   locale, do not use encodings.tcl module. Specify desired encoding explicitly
   in config file in config file, e.g:
   			set encoding cp1251

     * Macintosh:

   No one tried yet.
