ITEM 19, 12

      ENTER A "Y" IF YOU WANT TO SWAP TO EMS, XMS OR DISK WHEN TESTING
     ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     ULTESTER uses about 80k of ram.  Some archive utilities  use 300k of
     ram when in the archive mode. If your memory situation is critical
     and you have enough EMS or XMS available,  it is recommended  that
     you DO SWAP testing uploads.   IF you  do not have EMS or XMS, you
     can swap to disk which only takes a couple of seconds when testing
     archives.

     The exact SWAP method used is determined by ULTESTER.

ITEM 20, 13

                 ENTER THE OLDEST FILE DATE YOU WILL ACCEPT
                ────────────────────────────────────────────
     All files  within an uploaded archive  are examined  for the  date
     stamp.  If ANY file has a date stamp OLDER than the date you enter
     the upload  will be rejected  and  moved to the holding directory.
     These files  WILL  be scanned  prior  to being moved.   The proper
     format for this entry is YYYYMM.

ITEM 21, 8

    ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     For example,  if 199001  (January 1990)  is your old age limit and
     the uploaded archive  has 20 files  and you allow  20%  of them to
     exceed the old age restraints,   then no more than  4 files in the
     archive can be older than 199001.

ITEM 22, 11

     ENTER "Y" TO ACCEPT FILES OTHER THAN THE ARCHIVE FORMATS SUPPORTED
    ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     If you answer  "Y"  to the above question,  files which are not of
     the archive formats supported  (ARJ, GIF, LHA, TD0 or ZIP )  would
     be Passed and Scanned only.  This will allow any file extension to
     be uploaded to your BBS.

     Enter an  "N"  to restrict uploads to the archive formats you have
     chosen earlier in the configuration.

ITEM 23, 10

     UPLOADED TO YOUR SYSTEM.
    ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     This MUST be a text file with only one name per line in UPPER CASE.
     This is  convenient  for  deleting  unwanted  BBS  ads  and  other
     "NUISANCE" files.

     Leave blank if no files are to be deleted.

     Example:  C:\FNET\ULT\BADFILES.LST

ITEM 25, 11

     ENTER THE  PATH AND FILENAME  OF THE FILE  WHICH IS TO RECEIVE THE
     NAMES OF THE FILES WHICH ARE REJECTED FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.
    ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     This file will receive the descriptions  in the same format as the
     BBS DIRxx files.

ITEM 26, 9

                    ENTER THE SERIAL PORT ADDRESS TO USE
                   ──────────────────────────────────────

               ─────────────────────────────────────────────
     If you will be using a  "STANDARD"  IRQ  for COM ports 1 or 2 then
     you may skip this question.

     NOTE: You may use any IRQ numbered 1 - 7 on XT class machines or 1
           - 15 and above on AT machines provided the IRQ is not SHARED
           by another device. Each serial port "MUST" use a unique IRQ.
           Cold boot if you specify an IRQ which cannot be used.

     Example:  4   (for COM Port #1)

ITEM 28, 9

        ENTER "Y" IF YOU WANT TO "CREATE" AND ADD A FILE_ID.DIZ FILE
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     If you select  "Y",  ULTESTER  will  use the  description the user
     entered for an uploaded file and make a FILE_ID.DIZ file, then add
     it to the archive.

     Enter "N" if you do NOT wish to CREATE a FILE_ID.DIZ.

ITEM 29, 10

     (including  recursed directories).

     After scanning,  the file(s) will be re-archived with this default
     IF the  "convert to" archive type is different than that which was
     used on the uploaded file.

ITEM 30, 6

     ENTER A "Y" TO HAVE ULTESTER CONVERT FILES OTHER THAN ZIP/ARJ/LZH
    ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

     the specified default archive type.

ITEM 31, 9

       ENTER A "Y" TO ADD A ZIP OR ARJ COMMENT TO THE ARCHIVE HEADER
      ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     Enter  "N"  if you do  NOT  wish the header comment  added  to the
     archive.

     This is  naturally dependant  upon the archive type(s)  you  allow
     uploaded to your system.

ITEM 32, 13

     ENTER THE  PATH AND FILENAME OF A "FOOTER" FILE TO BE ADDED TO THE
     BOTTOM OF THE ULTESTER TESTING SCREEN.
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     ULTESTER will attempt to control screen output of lines 19 through
     25 for the footer file,  therefore  limit this file  to "7" screen
     lines to avoid the screen scrolling.

     NOTE: You should have 2 files!  (1) An ASCII one whose path & file
           name  you should enter  above  and  (2)  an ANSI file  which
           *MUST* have a "G" appended to the name entered above.

      Example: C:\FNET\ULT\FOOTER     (Include a FOOTERG file for ANSI)
ITEM 33, 5

                   ENTER YOUR ULTESTER REGISTRATION NUMBER
                  ─────────────────────────────────────────

ITEM 34, 12

     ENTER A  "Y"  IF YOU  WOULD LIKE  ULTESTER TO ADD THE TOTAL  FILES
     RECEIVED IN AN  ARCHIVE  FOLLOWED BY THE  NEWEST AND  OLDEST  FILE
     DATES IN THE ARCHIVE.

     ULTESTER counts the total number of files in an  uploaded archive,
     including all files in imbedded archives and those which  might be
     in  recursed  sub-directories.  If you  enter "Y"  for  this item,
     ULTESTER will make  an entry  in the  file description stating the
     number of  files, the  newest  file  date in  the  archive and the
     oldest file date  found in the archive.

ITEM 35, 12

     ENTER THE MINIMUM GIF RESOLUTION ALLOWED.  YOU  MUST  ENTER  IT IN
     THE FORMAT OF ###x###x###.
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     IF you do not enter a MINIMUM GIF Resolution, ULTESTER will bypass
     the resolution verification.

     DO NOT enter any spaces in the minimum resolution.  It MUST be  in
     the format depicted above and shown in the example below.

     Example:  640x480x256
