   $> gunzip msu_atlas_www.tar.gz
   $> tar -xvf msu_atlas_www.tar

Description of files:
  msu_atlas.css: Cascading style sheet. Sets style for webpage. Should only 
                 be edited if you want to change the color, font, etc.

  index.php:     Sets overall page layout, which is everything that remains
                 static. Based upon the variable passed using php, a 
                 different sub-page is loaded into this page. Should be edited
                 by filling in personal information. Replace YOUR_NAME, 
                 YOUR_EMAIL, etc. by the appropriate info. A Michigan State 
                 "S" can be substituted for the ATLAS logo (search for the line
                 <!-- Can choose either ATLAS Symbol or MSU "S" --> )

  menu.php:      Determines the menu bar on the left side of the page. Can
                 pass variables via php to index.php in <A> tags. For example:
                 <A HREF="index.php?p=menu_contact"> passes the variable 
                 menu_contact. The file "menu_contact.php" is then loaded into
                 index.php. You should edit this file for information 
                 approproate to you.

  menu_introduction.php: The default page loaded into index.hph. Loaded when 
                 someone goes to your web directory or passes a variable to 
                 index.php which does not have a corresponding file. You
                 should edit this for your personal use. Include a picture
                 of yourself (be sure that the height and width parameters
                 are compatable with the dimensions of the picture). Picture
                 goes in the image/ directory. Basic contact info or 
                 something else important can also be added.

  menu_contact.php: Extended conact info. Make other pages in a similar way and
                don't forget that the file name must correspond to the link
                in menu.php.
 
  menu_presentations.php: An example of where you can list your presentations.

  images directory: Contains all images required for display of the page.
