Q: How do I create a shortcut to amsn on my desktop? A: 1.- Add an icon to your gnome/kde desktop or menu, that launches the command: /wherever/you/have/amsn/installed/amsn for example /home/yourusername/msn/amsn 2. Other way: As root, create a link in /usr/bin to the amsn file ln -s /wherever/you/have/amsn/installed/amsn amsn This way, you can launch amsn by just typing 'amsn' from anywhere. Again, as seen in the question above, if the "wish" command doesn't exist, you need to install tcl/tk. To run AMSN you should choose "Open with.", "Launch with." or similar, and use the program "wish" to open the file "amsn". The file manager might think it's a text file, so it will launch the text editor. Q: When I double click "amsn" file from a graphical file browser, like konqueror or nautilus, it opens a text editor instead of running AMSN!

If "wish amsn" works, but "./amsn" doesn't, edit 'amsn' file and set the correct path to 'wish' in the first line. amsn or if this doesn't work, try wish amsn If wish command doesn't exist, then you don't have tcl/tk correctly installed. Untar it with the command: gzip -d amsn-x_xx.tar.gz tar xvf amsn-x_xx.tar It will create an msn/ directory, and amsn is installed and ready to run. Q: How do I install and run amsn on unix/linux? A: Just download the amsn-x_xx.tar.gz file. The interpreter is available for linux, windows and macintosh.Some additional features might require extra programs or libraries, like the docking icon, the Display Pictures or the SSL connection for MSN Protocol 9.
