INSTALLATION (First time)
=========================
You will need a key to get these services running.  The latest key
may be found on the page:
        http://www.net-shopper.co.uk/software/ntmail/key.htm
or by sending email to
        sales@net-shopper.co.uk

To install NTMAIL from scratch:
    Unzip the files in the directory that is to be their home.
    Enter "smtp -i"
    Enter "smtp -kkey" where 'key' is the value you just got from the WWW page.
    Enter "pop -i"
    Enter "post -i"
    Use REGEDT32 to set the local domain name variable at
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/InternetShopprt/Mail/Paramteres/LocalDomainNames
	to contain your domain name (default is company.com).
    Enter "mail -start"
and all three services will now be running.

Note: Values are only stored in the registry if they are different from the default
      values.

Please see the Manual and/or HTML pages for more complete installation instructions.



UPGRADE
=======

To upgrade from a previous version of NTMail, you will need to:
    Take a backup of the registry using REGEDT32 and save the old executables.
        Start REGEDT32 up (type START REGEDT32)
	Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/InternetShopper
	Highlight the entry called "Mail" by a single click on it.
	Select the command "Save Key" from the "Registry" menu and save the
		values to a backup file.  We suggest you use the extension
		.key so you can find it later if need be.
    Enter "mail -stop" (this is the new mail program, not the old one).
    Move the old executalbes to POP.OLD, POST.OLD and SMTP.OLD.
    Copy the three new executables (POP, POST and SMTP) to the same directory
        as the previous executables.
    Enter the command "smtp -i" to update the registry.
    Enter "mail -start"

Once you are sure that the installation has gone well and all services are working
as you would expect, delete the old mail boxes.

If the installation fails, goto the Registry Editor and, after selecting 
the key "Mail", select "Restore" from the "Registry" menu.  Select your key backup 
file.  Stop the services, Copy the old executables on top of the new ones and 
restart the services.  You will then have recovered your mail system.  Please 
email ntmail-support@net-shopper.co.uk with details of the problem that you 
enncountered.
