POWERBBS FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION

To install from a hard disk:

1. Create a temporary directory (C:\TEMP)
2. Unzip archives (*.ZIP) into this temporary directory
3. Run setup
   a. From Program Manager select File, Run, or in Windows 95, select Start, Run.
   b. Enter C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE (or the appropriate directory)
   b. Click OK

To install from floppies

1. Put disk 1 into your disk drive
2. Select File, Run from Program Manager
3. Type A:\SETUP.EXE or B:\SETUP.EXE
4. Click OK


You will see a screen with two options for install: Full or Upgrade.

UPGRADES
--------
If you are installing PowerBBS over ANY other version
of PowerBBS, then use the Upgrade Option. PowerBBS will only 
overwrite those program files (EXE, DLL) that need to be replaced. 
Your existing screens, forums, file lists, etc. will not be touched.
Upgrading is totally safe. However, do NOT pick FULL INSTALL if 
you have already installed a prior version of PowerBBS.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: No PowerBBS related program may be running during
installation. It is best if you reboot your PC before installing 
PowerBBS. To avoid Windows loading programs in your Startup group
or folder, hold down the RIGHT-SHIFT key while Windows is starting.
If you experience any odd problems when starting PowerBBS for the first
time, reboot Windows. This will ensure that all memory areas are 
cleared.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

FULL INSTALL
------------
If you are installing PowerBBS for the first time,
select Full Install, which is checked by default. This will install 
PowerBBS and all of its related screens, files, etc.

On this first screen, the install program displays the drive and path
FROM which you are installing PowerBBS. If this information is correct,
click OK. If for some reason it is not, enter the correct information 
(A:\, C:\TEMP, etc.) and click OK.

Next, you are asked the hard drive on which PowerBBS is to be installed.
Enter your hard drive letter (C:\, D:\, etc) in this text box and 
click OK (PowerBBS will create all the directories it needs).

Let the installation run. When it is complete, you will have a
program group called PowerBBS. First, read the NOTES file. If you 
have any questions, read the FAQ.HLP file. 

Then, have fun!
