- Upgrading from MarkMail for PCBoard ß29 or earlier to this ß30
-
- UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS!
-
- First, a note that this and future releases of MarkMail for PCBoard
- will have included a 'default' MARKMAIL.DAT file, but this will be
- renamed to MARKMAIL.DAK to prevent those of you who are *not* doing
- a 'first time' installation from accidentally overwriting an existing
- MARKMAIL.DAT file.
-
- All of the upgrading that you will need to do will be markmed with an
- asterisk '*' in column '1' with the exception of the first '*'. That
- first * merely signifies a change in the menu to show a location with
- a new 'dual purpose', storage of Pointer Files and (soon) QWK packets.
-
- In MarkMail System Manager (MMSM.EXE), choose A) System Configuration,
- then choose Paths and File Names.

-
- Then choose Flags and Baud Rates to change new flags.
-
- The UG (Upload and Goodbye) function is now enabled! But for MarkMail
- to have this ability it must be flagged as 'Y' as shown below. Also,
- the new "short/long logging" toggle must be flagged as 'Y' for Mark-
- Mail to log as it always has (1 line to the log per message inserted.

-
-
- Then choose Conference Config (Individual or By Range is up to you).
-
- Two new conference flags give MarkMail greater flexibility! But use
- with discretion. The more significant of the new R and A flags is A.
- The 'A' flag will allow users to upload mail where the 'From:" field
- is *not* their name. This allows networks supporting aliases to give
- MarkMail users the ability to enter offline 'aliased mail'.
- The 'R' flag should be more widely used if your network supports R/O
- mail. Flagging a networked conference with the 'R' flag will allow
- SysOps to download R/O mail even if the R/O message is not to them.
- Not having the 'R' flag in a conference is advantageous in a 'Regional
- type of conference where you only want a R/O message to go to one of
- your nodes. While this is an advantage, we do not endorse the use of
- private mail nor are suggesting it's use.

- Then choose User File/TPA Maintenance to adjust any users with Net Status.
-
- For users (whether Net SysOps or users) that you want to store pointer
- files for, flag the "Store Users Pointers:" field with a 'Y' as shown
- below. Pointer files will be stored in the directory which you have
- specified in the Paths and File Names section. Then, to grant Net Status
- in specific networks only, press F2 while in the Net-Mail Status field
- (if it is flagged with a 'Y'. Go to the 'next' screen below...

- If you pressed F2 while in the "Net-Mail Status: Y" field, this is the
- screen you will see next. Simply flag Y or N to the networks you want
- this Net User to have Net Status in. It's that easy. Since MarkMail's
- previous method of Net Status was 'global' there should be all 'Y's'
- in these fields. Just type 'N' where you do not want a user to have Net
- Status and any network flagged 'N' will not be viewable or selectable
- while that user is in the MarkMail door, *regardless* of wether or not
- the user is registered in them in PCBoard. This will allow you to give
- conference access to a Net Status user in PCBoard while not giving him
- or her Net Status in that conference in MarkMail.

-
- If you have not yet upgraded your MARKMAIL.SYS registration key file,
- DO NOT UPGRADE to this version until you do!! Your door will act as an
- "unregistered version" unless you follow the instructions below...
-
- If you ordered the door anytime during '92 or ordered it directly from
- Intelec Online, you've already got the new style registration key.
-
- As stated many times in the several MarkMail support conferences, and as
- mentioned in each release since I took over from Mark, this beta version
- #30 NO LONGER USES the old style MARKMAIL.SYS key file. If you have not
- yet upgraded your key file, you **MUST** do so before upgrading to this
- beta #30! Again, ß28 was the LAST beta using "both the old and new" SYS
- files. So call Intelec Online and update your SYS file to the new format
- as soon as possible. Use our UPDATE door to do this. Simply upload your
- MARKMAIL.SYS file into the door, it will update it automatically and it
- will go into Zmodem D/L mode when complete, only a couple of seconds....
- Do not wait to be validated, it's available on the very first call and I
- will use that door's log to perform security level upgrades.
-
- That's it... this is the extent of any upgrade required for going from
- MarkMail for PCBoard ß29 or earlier to ß30. I hope you enjoy all the
- enhancements and greater flexibility that this version will give you!
-
- Thank you!
