version.

+ Spider provides a simple BBS interface. No input is required from the
+ sysop of the cluster at all. The BBS simply sets the cluster as a BBS
+ and pushes any required mail to the cluster. No mail can flow from
+ Spider to the BBS, the interface is one-way.
+
+
+ Please be careful not to flood the cluster network with unnecessary
+ mail. Make sure you only send mail to the clusters that want it by
+ using the Forward.pl file very carefully.

Assuming you are connected to the Internet, you need to login to the
CVS repository and then update your Spider source. There are several
steps which are listed below ...
- tar cvfz /tmp/s.tgz spider
- cd /
