    AS> unix.install.txt.   
      
   It seems the unix.install.txt is slightly out of date.  The installation no   
   longer allows you to install over an existing directory.  I'll updated the   
   documentation and I will paste the new install section below for you:   
      
     INSTALLATION   
     ============   
      
     Type ./install in your terminal window to install Mystic BBS.   
      
     If you get an error saying the directory already exists, then you will need   
     to remove that directory or install somewhere else before running ./install   
     again.   
      
     If you get an error saying it cannot create a directory its usually because   
     the user you are running install with does not have rights to create a   
     directory in the place you've tried to install.  You can try executing   
     "sudo ./install" so that the installation will have rights to create a   
     directory anywhere, but keep in mind you will want to chown the files to   
     the BBS user and group afterwards:   
      
       chown -R user:group /mystic   
      
     You can also perform a command line installation by using the auto command   
     "./install auto /mystic" but keep in mind the same points mentioned above   
     still apply.  The user running install needs to have rights to create the   
     installation directory, and that directory must not already exist.   
      
     NOTE 1: You can type "./install help" to see a list of some additional   
     installation options from the terminal.   
      
     NOTE 2: If you are trying to install Mystic under your user directory, do   
     not use the "~" shortcut as it will not work.  For example in MacOS you   
     must type in /Users/MyUserName instead of ~/ for the installation paths.
