This version provides considerable enhancement over earlier versions     
and a general clean-up of the code. It should compile without error 
on systems supporting ANSI/POSIX standard C.  No oddball calls are 
used. K&R is NOT supported. ATP is distributed under the terms of 
the Free Software Foundation GNU General Public License. In other 
words, it is copyrighted but freely distributable under conditions 
contained in the GPL. ATP is derived from an earlier work of Rene
Cougnenc (AzerTyuioP), but greatly enhanced. Users of earlier 
versions of ATP for Linux should try to upgrade to this version. 
ATP supports both French language and English language.

New Features Include:

* message size of up to 150,000 bytes (about 2500 to 3000 lines).

* 8192 conferences (fully compatible with older mail doors).

* dynamic memory management.

* Emacs style command-line editing with command history (Salz/Tumlee
  editline library)

* separate conference for replies.

* re-edit, kill, or change security on replies.

* export replies ONLY when you want to.

* greatly expanded tagline manager.

* no limits on number of taglines.

* direct, random, or automatic tagline selection.

* support for external spelling checkers

* text search conferences and headers for strings.

* ANSI/POSIX compliance with full function prototyping 

* load multiple packets for reading at one time (ATP is a database
  type reader).

* support for 7bit, latin1, and msdos character sets.
  
* DOS versions in both 16 bit mode and 32 bit protected mode.

Thanks to Cougnenc, Salz, Tumlee, and others who provided the code for me
to build upon.
