> ## Steps to install

> This document describes how to install the procmail library to your system. The procedure is quite simple:

> 1) Unpack the kit somewhere, like under `~/procmail/`. The created directories are `~/procmail/pm-lib/lib` and `~/procmail/pm-lib/doc`

> 2) Add startup code to your `~/.procmailrc` to let it know about the modules:

> 3) peek inside any of the pm*rc files and see how the installation instruction tell to take it into use. Have fun!

> ## Sample ~/.procmailrc

>           # ~/.procmailrc

>           # ...................................................................
>           # Initial procmail setup.

>           #   SHELL
>           #   - it is highly important that you set shell to /bin/sh. See faq
>           #
>           #   DEFAULT
>           #   - This is where your mail is delivered by default.
>           #   - Usually /var/mail/USER
>           #
>           #   PATH
>           #   - be sure the `sendmail' binary's path is included. See man page for
>           #     path. Typically /usr/sbin
>           #   - My path includes both SunOS and HP-UX 9 and 10 paths so that
>           #     I can use same .procmailrc in every machine.

>           UMASK       = 007           # James Bond :-)
>           LINEBUF     = 8192          # make sure procmail won't choke
>           SHELL       = /bin/sh       # VERY IMPORTANT

>           #  This path structure will work accross various
>           #  platforms: SunOS, HP-UX, Linux. It doesn't matter if there
>           #  are non-exixtent paths.

>           PATH =\

>           :${PATH}

>           # ...................................................................
>           #  Define path where the libraries are:

>           PMSRC = "$HOME/procmail/pm-lib/lib"

>           #  Load the initial startup, this defines all the modules an variables

>           INCLUDERC = $PMSRC/pm-javar.rc

>           #   Now you can read any module simple by calling like above
>           #   The complete list is defined in pm-javar.rc, peek there.

>           INCLUDERC = $RC_LIST

>           # End of example
