Running Ldb

The first time ldb is run, it will create a file in your home directory called ".ldbrc". If this name is inconvenient, define the environment variable LDBRC to be the name you want before running it the first time (and all times after that). Ldb will ask for your name and e-mail address. All other options will be set to their defaults, as explained in the manual. Most of these should work fine, but you may need to modify the "sendcmd" option to work with the mail program on your system. This option tells ldb how to send mail to your opponent, and must be correctly set for ldb to work. See below for more information on setting your sendcmd.
