Section I: Important Compatibility Information
===============================================
This version of The Blue Wave Offline Mail Door will work with
PCBoard-DOS or PCBoard-OS/2 v15.20 or later only. Although this mail
door has been tested with the latest beta version of PCBoard v15.30
available as of 16 June 96, we cannot guarantee absolute compatibility
with the final release version. Both DOS and OS/2 executables are
included.
=================================================
Section II: Contact and Registration Information

information were available on the Internet through our World Wide Web site.

===============================================
Section III: Installation/Upgrade Instructions
===============================================
If you are upgrading from version 4.00 of The Blue Wave Offline Mail Door
for PCBoard, simply unZip the contents of BW_DOS.ZIP (or BW_OS2.ZIP if
you are using the OS/2 version of PCBoard) into your current mail door
directory. No file conversions or other special steps are required.
If you are installing the mail door for the first time, refer to the
installation instructions provided in Chapter 5 of the file BWMAIL.DOC.
Don't worry... first-time installations are usually quick, easy, and
painless.
If you are using another version of the mail door (i.e. Maximus, Opus,
RemoteAccess, QuickBBS, etc.), be aware that an upgrade installation is
not possible. You must perform a full installation of the mail door, as
discussed above.
