Notes on Upgrading.
For latest developements: http://www.powwwerworkgroup.com/news.htm

You need to already have installed (and working) either the standard
16-bit version of PowerBBS v5 or the 32-bit release.  Do NOT switch
between the 16-bit or 32-bit version when upgrading with this file.

This version includes full support for PA/2 PRO Registered Users.  If you
are not a registered PA/2 PRO user, email 74774.3326@compuserve.com
or RUSSELL FREY on the support BBS for information on purchasing
PA/2 PRO.  PA/2 PRO includes a slew of features to as direct node to
node chatting, fast protocol support, chess, and MUCH MORE along with
a custom version tailored to your system.  You are not running a
serious system without it!!

We continue to strive to create the best possible product. Your
continued feedback of problems to fix, and crazy ideas, continues
to make us strive to create even more nifty features.  We are
currently in our think-tank for the next big releases of PowerBBS
and want your feedback!  Please email Russell Frey on the support
BBS or 74774.3326@compuserve.com over the Internet with your
ideas.  And thanks!

Note:  **NEW** Feature
----------------------

PowerBBS now has the ability to create a preview screen of all the
graphics you have in a directory.  For example, it can take a
directory of graphics, and will make a screen with previews of
the graphics.  Each graphic will be displayed along with a next/prev
pict that is a link to the next graphic on the screen.  If you
run a graphical BBS, this will allow your users to quickly down
all the previews of graphics in a directory and view them.  To
create such a link screen:

1)  You must have PowerHTML registered

2)  You must have Preview Files already created for the graphics in
    your Preview Directory.

3)  Once the above is done, it simply is a normal link that you
    can create from either a PowerGen screen or HTML screen.  Just
    use
        a) the F command
        b) for the file, just put a junk path/filename to the directory
           of graphics and include JUNK.FLP and the filename.

    For example, lets say I want to create a link in order to show users
    all the graphics I have in one of my lists.  The graphical files
    are stored in my E:\GRAPHICS\HOUSES directory.  I would create the
    following link:
        Command F, File: E:\GRAPHICS\HOUSES\JUNK.FLP
    or
        F-E:\GRAPHICS\HOUSES\JUNK.FLP

    That is it.  You do not have to create JUNK.FLP (you shouldn't!)

4)  Test your link.
