--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you haven't made a BACKUP copy recently, do it now.
1) Make a "MAIL" directory:At C:\, enter MD MAIL, then CD\MAIL
2) Enter COPY A:*.*
3) Enter BBMAIL?? (substitute version number for ??) to extract files if
it is an .EXE file, or PKUNZIP BBMAIL?? if a .ZIP file.
4) New Data Base Files will have a name "UPGR?" and will not overwrite
existing .dbf files.
5) Use your editor and make sure your CONFIG.SYS file has these two lines:
FILES=40 (minimum)
BUFFERS=10 (minimum, try 15 or 20 for speed improvement)
6) Turn you computer off, then on (for config.sys to take effect).
7) Enter MAIL to answer set-up questions, and get to main menu

SET QSEMS=0 at DOS (keeps 64k of EMS from being used).
