Howdy Folks,                                            Christmas, 1992

       Hello again, a few people sent in some really good ideas so I got
   stoked up on the game for a little while and what started as a simple
   maintenance release became a little more.
       Most of those ideas are going into Version 2.0 for which will I have 
   set a deadline of August 1993. 

   I have changed the file formats used in version 1.31 and below.
   To Convert a 1.26 thru 1.31 universe to the new format see CONVERT.DOC.

   Otherwise follow these steps to start a fresh universe:

   1. Setting up fresh 

      A. Create a directory for Ultimate Universe.

      B. Unzip the UU150 into the directory.

      C. Run CONFIG
	 C1. Play close attention to the first page of Config.
	     Some of it may need to be configured for your system.
	 C2. Flip through the rest of the pages.
	     If you don't understand what an option is for leave it
	     alone until some later date when you are more familiar
	     with the game. The preset settings are fine for playing.

      D. Run DDOC. This creates a file called DEVICE.DOC.

      E. Make DEVICE.DOC, UUHELP.EXE, UUHELP.HTD, UUHELP.HTI and
	 AUUVER.TXT available for download.

      F. If you are a Registered User decide how many dimensions you
	 want and make a copy of CONFIG.UU for each dimension like so:
	 COPY CONFIG.UU CONFIG.Ux
	 where x is a number from 1 to 9.
	 The dimensions can be customized by typing CONFIG x
	 using the same 'x' as before.

      G. Initialize the Game by typing: MDAILY RESET

      H. Check IMPORT.BAT and modify it for your system.
	 If you change the Upload Protocol alter IMPORT.MSG to reflect that.

      I. If you are a Registered User check EXPORT.BAT and EXPORT.MSG as well.

      J. See SYSOP.DOC for instructions on hooking Ultimate Universe up to
	 your BBS.
