IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Don't run this version of FidoMail with a pre-1.77 messagebase. Things are going
to go horribly wrong. With the addition of reply-linking, more information is
needed for each message. This information is not present in an old messagebase,
so it won't work.
If you want to use your old messagebase with the new version, do this:
1. Make a backup copy of your old version.
2. Copy the contents of the old 'Msgs' directory into the new one.
3. Doubleclick the !Boot file in the new version.
4. Doubleclick the 'ChangeLink' program, found in the 'Utils' directory.
5. That's it. If it works, you can scrap the ChangeLink program and the
backup copy.
--------------------------------
The format of the dates stored in each message has changed too. Until they are
converted, the sort-by-date function will not work, and the dates of old
messages will be wrong. So there is also a program called 'RewritDate' in the
'Utils' directory. You should run this program once the abovementioned
procedure is completed succesfully, then it will change the dates to the new
format.
