- INSTALLATION/UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
-
-
- **** This version of The Blue Wave Mail Door has been shipped with a
- file called BWDOOR.USE. This is a text file tutorial that can be
- put online for users to download. A full explanation of the use of
- The Blue Wave Mail Door is contained within this file, along with
- tips, tricks, and hints on effective usage.
-
-
- NEW INSTALLATIONS
- -----------------
- The procedure for new installations is outlined in BWMAIL.DOC, enclosed
- with this archive.
-
-
- UPGRADING FROM V3.00 to V3.01
- -----------------------------
- If you have already installed v3.00 of The Blue Wave Offline Mail Door
- for Maximus, installation is a snap. Simply copy the following files
- from BWMAIL.ZIP into your current door directory:
-
- BWMAIL.EXE
- BWMAIL.OVR
- BWUTILS.EXE
-
- Please note that v3.01 of the mail door allows you to give extended
- descriptions to your ARCHIVERS through the BWUTILS->Archiver
- Configuration Editor. Due to the many requests for a way to distinguish
- between incompatible versions of the same archiver type, the functionality
- was added for this bug-fix upgrade. Nothing will go wrong if you do not
- give your archivers an extended description, but it wouldn't hurt to do
- it, either :-).
-
-
-
- UPGRADING FROM V2.00 to V3.01
- -----------------------------
- If you have installed The Blue Wave Mail Door for Maximus v2.00, you must
- run the conversion program 200to301.EXE from your main BLUEWAVE
- directory. The BWMAIL.PRM file structures have changed since the v2.00
- public release.
-
- After running the conversion program, be sure to copy the entire contents
- of BWMAIL.ZIP into your BLUEWAVE directory. There are no files contained
- within that archive that should not be replaced. New help screens and
- .EXE files are enclosed. You can delete the file 200to300.EXE after you
- have executed the conversion program.
-
- After conversion, you may also delete BWDUPES.DAT. The mail door no
- longer uses this file to track duplicate messages. A new file called
- BWDUPES.IDX will be created to handle duplicate messages.
-
- Please read the WHATSNEW.301 file to become familiar with all of the new
- features and functions in The Blue Wave Mail Door. You will need to
- carefully examine the fields with the BWUTILS setup program to verify
- that all new options are set to your liking.
-
- Good Luck!
