TO INSTALL:

To use NewsWerthy, first make a directory named NWERTHY, then
copy NWERTHY.* to it. You'll also need a subdirectory named
FOLDERS (for saved messages).  Make sure pkzip and pkunzip
are on your path. Make sure you have set the TEMP or TMP
environment variable (enter set, at a DOS promt to check).
If not add a "SET TEMP=C:\TEMP" to your autoexec.bat file and
create the TEMP directory.

For those who are upgrading from a version prior to 1.60:

Turn on the Word wrap feature in the Message Options dialog under 
the Setup menu. The NWERTHY.BKM file is no longer used, and may be
deleted from the work directory. Ignore the error message about not 
being able to remove 0000000.BKM file, the first time NewsWerthy is 
run.

For those who are upgrading from a version prior to 1.70:

Make sure that your email address is entered in the Reply-To picklist
and add any mailing lists to the address book. This is used in 
separating out your personal mail from mailing lists.


GETTING STARTED:

If you haven't used UQWK with the SOUP format before, read
section III of the manual. Read NWERTHY.DOC for information on
