user interface to the Citadel system.
intended to be a general-purpose web server, however -- it *only* provides a
front end to Citadel. If you do not have another web server running, you may
run WebCit on port 80; however, if you have Apache or some other web server

+specify a port number, WebCit will bind to port 2000.
To compile from source, enter the usual commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/webcit [or whatever directory you prefer]
http://your.host.name

...and log in.
If you would like to deploy a "favicon.ico" graphic, please put it in
the static/ directory. WebCit will properly serve it from there.

+ CUSTOMIZATION
+ -------------
+
+ The default WebCit installation will create an empty directory called
+"static.local". In this directory you may place a file called "webcit.css"
+which, if present, is referenced *after* the default stylesheet. If you
+know CSS and wish to customize your WebCit installation, any styles you
+declare in static.local/webcit.css will override the styles found in
+static/webcit.css -- and your customizations will not be overwritten when
+you upgrade WebCit later.
+
+ You may also place other files, such as images, in static.local for
+further customization.
