Common Problems Setting Up IP&M
                    ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

If you are having difficulties setting up the demo version of IP&M, make
sure of the following:

    1. You have SHARE installed. When you type SHARE at the DOS command
       line, you should see the message "Share Already Installed."  If
       you don't, add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT that reads "SHARE".

    2. Make sure you have enough file handles set aside in your
       CONFIG.SYS. On the line that says "FILES=XX", XX should be a
       number great enough to hold 35 handles per session. So if you're
       using a multi-tasker and have two windows running IP&M, you'll
       need at least 70 file handles.

    3. If you're trying to install IP&M as a door and are having
       problems, try blanking out the baud rate on the modem
       configuration screen.

    4. If you get a "Out of environment space" message when loading the
       MUD, add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT: "SET
       CLIPPER=f255"; also, add the following line to your config.sys:
       "SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:2048 /P". If a shell line already
       exists, modify it to match.

If your problems persist, you can call our technical support at (404)
635-0931. You should also download the very latest version of the demo
from our support BBS, Software Creations, at (508) 368-7139, or from a
MUD test site such as (404) 627-4161.
