To install: see the INSTALL file. Note that these are 
not the usual install instructions.

To run: right-click on the gnome panel, select Add to panel, 
then Amusements, then Blogfish

To uninstall: run "uninstall". NB: This script is new and untested. It
works on my system. Run with extreme care, especially as root! In other
words, unless you can read the source, it might be better just to 
remove files manually.


Debugging
---------

You can start blogfish in a separate window with the command:
 
  blogfish --window

or 

  blogfish -w

You can choose a port with the option --port or -p, e.g.

  blogfish --port 5000

And you can set passive mode on with "--port=PASV" or "-p PASV".

If you set the port/passive mode on the command line, changes
to these values made from the configuration dialog will be ignored.

Finally, you can suggest a host to connect to with:
  
  blogfish -h host:port

or


  blogfish --host host:port

e.g.

  blogfish --host foobar.com:5156


Getting help
------------

Contact the mailing list, blogfish-general@lists.sourceforge.net . 
Or contact me, hughjonesd@yahoo.co.uk . But using the mailing list
would be polite.


peerlist.cgi and peerlist.txt
-----------------------------

These files are a simple perl script to print a list of
recently known peers. You can put the URL to these files
in the applet config dialog under "URL to get list of peers".


Patches, new fish etc.
----------------------
See the TODO list for what is needed. Send patches to 
the mailing list at blogfish-general@lists.sourceforge.net
