+If you've just unpacked FEATPOST it's time to do
+ bashscript/dosome.sh < /dev/null
+You'll see many text lines rolling up your scren,
+some of them containing error messages.
+DON'T PANIC. This will just take quite
+some time and about 80MB of disk space.
+It is supposed that you've got, at least,
+ImageMagick and Linuxdoc installed. Galrey, dog and
+textutils are also in order. All software is available
+as Debian GNU/Linux packages (except FEATPOST).
+Well, this is a bit complicated. The simple way is
+to copy the file
+ macro/featpost3Dplus2D.mp
+to
+ /usr/TeX/texmf-local/metapost/local/
+or
+ /usr/share/texmf/metapost/misc/
+or something appropriate and to do
+ texhash
+
+If you're returning you should remember to do
+ export TEX=latex
+ mpost -mem featpost example/standard/someexamplefile.mp
+ bashscript/laproof someexamplefile N
+ gv someexamplefile.N.eps &
+but, again, if you chose the simple way you must uncomment
+ %input featpost3Dplus2D;
+in someexamplefile.mp
+
+Good luck!
+
+P.S. - The cutting-edge feature is
+ "Automatic Perspective Tuning"
+as processed by the macro "photoreverse".
