  2.                   Introduction and Installation

     Arcment is a Zip and Arj compression utility that adds your comment and
BBS ads to Zip and Arj files, and can also test Gif files uploaded to your bbs.
     The only Restrictions to the size of the comments are those imposed by the
compression utilities. The bbs ad that can be optionally inserted, can be as big
as any file that can be inserted into an archive. This program can also Strip AV
(Registered Only) from Zip files & log a report of Gif Files uploaded to your bbs.
     This program works in conjuction with Pkzip by Pkware Inc., Arj by Robert
K Jung., Giftest by Max Bernard & Dave Navarro Jr. and StripAv. For this program
to work to it's fullest capability you need all of the above programs, and they
must be in your Dos path.
     To install this program, Create a Directory of your liking, and unzip this
program into that directory. Then, create a Comment that you want installed into
your Archives and name it ARCMENT.CMT. If you want a BBS Ad file added to the
archives, you must create it. You can call it anything you like. If you want to
keep a log of your gif files, You must specify were the log will be kept. After
you have created your comment and ad, insert them into the same directory as the
Arcment Program in order for the program to be able to find them. Now you must
create or modify your UPLOAD.BAT file located in your TRIBBS directory to
include the location of Arcment. If you aren't adding a BBS ad you must enter
NONE, & you must have create a Giftest CFG file and insert it into your upload
bat file according to the Giftest program guide lines.

                                       AND ARCMENT.CMT IS LOCATED). ARCMENT CAN
                                       BE IN ANY DIRECTORY OF YOUR LIKING, BUT
                                       YOU MUST GOTO THAT DIRECTORY.
