LinPopUp for Debian
-------------------

2002-02-13

- There can be problems when transmitting non-USASCII characters between
  Windows systems and Linux. Samba can be instructed to do the right
  conversions, by adding the next two lines to the global part of
  /etc/samba/smb.conf :

     character set = ISO8859-1
     client code page = 850

  You may have to experiment a bit with the client code page value, but
  this one works for at least two people :-)   Let me know if you needed
  different values, so I can add that information here (and perhaps to
  the Samba maintainer).

- The file where messages are stored was /var/state/misc/linpopup in the
  first couple of versions. However, apparently Debian will not use the
  /var/state part of FHS 2.0, so this is now changed to the (new) upstream
  source's location, namely /var/lib/linpopup/messages.dat .

- The original ( < 0.9.4 ) versions of LinPopUp used a differing message
  file format, so at the same time as the move to a new location, the
  old messages aren't usable anyway.
