║ Registration Information ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Since Ol'Blue's Trading Post is Shareware, you are allowed to try out
the game before deciding whether or not to purchase it. Many games on
Bulletin Board Systems are in fact registered by the users and not the
Sysop. We belive that, once you see the quality and stablility of
Ol'Blue's Trading Post, you will be proud to offer this product to
your family of users.
Ol'Blue's Trading Post is slightly crippled to your users. The
only things that are crippled are: only 1 turn per day and inability to
turn off the News File.
After you register Ol'Blue's Trading Post, you will recieve a unique
registration key just for your copy of the IGM! Run the configuration
utility that is supplied and enter in your name and registration number.
By supporting this quality product, you are ensuring future development.
All future versions of Ol'Blue's Trading Post will work with your
registration codes. NO CHARGE FOR FUTURE UPGRADES, EVER! Downloading new
versions will be left up to you. The latest version will always be made
avaliable here at Online! USA (615) 388-7766 or 380-1909.
HOW TO REGISTER
---------------
Simply print the supplied REGISTER.DOC file and fill it out with all of
the pertinent information needed.
If you do not have a printer, just send the same information, written on
paper, along with your registration fee and you will recieve your
registration codes for Ol'Blue's Trading Post.
Average mailing time to receive your registration is about 6 days.
When it is received, it will usually be mailed within 48 hours.

║ Instructions ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
1. Make sure that DogWorld is installed and running properly.
2. Place the Ol'Blue's Trading Post archive in a new, empty directory.
3. Unzip the archive.
4. Run "OBTPCFG.EXE".
5. Select (C)onfigure.
- Type in path to your DogWorld directory when asked to do so
and hit the [ENTER] key. You will then be prompted for other
options as well. If not registered, use the default settings
This will then create your configuration file.
6. Select (I)nstall. OBTPCFG will add the proper info to your
DogWorld 3RDPARTY.MNU file. You will be asked if you want
to announce the IGM. If you answer (Y)es, OBSOWCFG will add
a line of text to the Daily Herald to notify your users
that "Ol'Blue's Trading Post" has been installed.
7. Select (Q)uit to exit the setup program.
8. You're all DONE!
Hint:
There is one item in the Buy/Sell list that will not be available
unless you have DogWorld v2.02 and clean mode is not enabled.
When the IGM is registered, the number of turns that a player can
have per day can be increased from 1 to 4. Otherwise, keep one thing
in mind: You can only go into this IGM once a day.
I hope you find this IGM enjoyable. There are more IGMs on the
way and your support will help keep them coming along! Thank you
for trying Ol'Blue's Trading Post.

║ Credits ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
I want to take a moment and give credit to all of the people who gave a
hand in the creation of Ol'Blue's Trading Post.
1. Judy Tuttle - for ideas and beta testing
2. Ken Cothran - Beta testing plus----
3. Jennifer Haynes - for help and assistance
4. Penny Lovett - source of inspiration for this series
5. John Place - Beta Tester - Thanks John!
Special thanks goes to Ken Cothran. He was very instrumental in
providing support and assistance. Without his help, Ol'Blue's Trading
Post would not even be a reality. I also want to thank Ken for teaching
me quite a few tricks that made all of this possible. Ken was very
resourceful and encouraging, especially when things went wrong. He
also pointed out things in an objective manner that was never criticizing.
Just want to say "Thanks, Ken!" "Great job for making such a cool game
like DogWorld! Keep up the great work!"
