[Quickfix-users] Newbie Help

[Shawn D. <sd...@pa...>]

Hello,

	I'd like to use the quickfix engine, but I'm not a developer and
I'm a little confused how to use it effectively.  I have a very simple
initial project,=20
	get the quickfix engine up and running so that we can receive
test trade confirmations from our broker using drop copies.  I have our
brokers
	source IP and port and I can open up a internet ip and port for
our quick fix engine. =20

	I'm not sure what do do next to get quickfix running.  Much of
the documentation speaks of compiling the code, but isn't the engine
already built?  I just need to receive FIX messages and put them into a
flat file or a database.

	Can someone help me list out what initial steps I need to take
to accomplish this?  The documentation is very developer specific.

	Thank you,
