This will automatically start DXSpider on tty7 (ALT-F7) on bootup and restart
it should it crash for any reason.

As root type the command <em>telinit q</em>. DXSpider should start up
immediately. You will see the output on tty7 and if you login as <em>sysop</em>

You will need winzip to manipulate the TGZ files (they are bit like
ZIP files) if you are not using CVS.
go to "C:\spider\" and create them. If "C:\spider" is missing, go back
and figure out why, because it shouldn't be.
-
Now create your own local copy of the DXVars.pm file by:-
you must write them as "\@" or "\$".
