Power-QWK Version 2.14 Installation and Upgrade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not try to INSTALL OR UPGRADE this product manually.
It should be installed or upgraded ONLY using the provided
installation program INSTALL.EXE.
INSTALL.EXE ensures that the proper subdirectories are created,
under your instruction, that files are placed correctly within them
and that Power-QWK is configured properly for use. The process also
creates Power-QWK data files not included in the ZIP file.
PLEASE READ THE SECTION OF POWERQWK.DOC RELATING TO INSTALLATION.
It is a very short section but reading it now can save you hours
of grief later.
When you've read it, just type INSTALL.
You will be asked to name a directory into which the product is to
be installed.
If you are a new user, this should be either an empty directory
which you have created for the purpose or a non-existent directory
which the INSTALL program will create.
If you are an existing Power-QWK user then just tell INSTALL the name
of your existing Power-QWK directory.
INSTALL places files only in this directory and subdirectories
'owned' by it.
It does not write to any system files such as autoexec.bat and
config.sys.
PLEASE USE INSTALL.EXE.
N.B.

Upgrading from version 2.04 or earlier?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If so then please note that, after upgrading, you will not be able
to access any message base until you have processed a .QWK file
containing new messages for it. This is unusual and applies only to
upgrades from pre-2.05 versions to 2.05 and later.
Upgrading from version 2.06 or earlier?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If so then please note that, after upgrading, you will not be able
to access any bulletins within a message base until you have
processed a .QWK file for that message base. This is unusual and
applies only to upgrades from pre-2.10 versions to 2.10 and later.
Upgrading from 2.11 or earlier and registered?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If so then please note that your old registered user number will
not work with PQ version 2.12 or later.
A new number will be posted to you (if you haven't had it already)
and PQ will only operate in unregistered mode until your new number
has been INSTALLed.
