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".
