If you are running a version before .75 beta of Mutant or are installing
a new Mutant, you should setup Mutant or at least run the setup program.

New setup of Mutant (quick info)
--------------------------------
1. Unzip the distribution file (you have done this already since you are
   reading this)
2. Run Setup (see below)
3. Make sure you have at least FILES=30 in your CONFIG.SYS.
4. Read this file carefully.
5. Read the documentation and print the documention if possible.
6. Go into the configuration and enter things like the name of your BBS.
6. Try out the sample files and modify them as necessary.

SETUP
-----
      Setup will unpack the files within the distribution file and create files
necessary for it to run.  NOTE: as SETUP unpacks the files, it deletes them.
Therefore, you should keep the distribution file on backup somewhere.

Use the Cursor Up and Down keys and ENTER to select one of the following:
Source Path      - This is where you have unzipped the distribution files.
Destination Path - This is where you want the BBS installed.
Name             - This is your name or Alias you will go by on the
                   BBS (35 chars max).
Port             - This is the COM port your modem is on (1-4).
Install MTMAIL   - MTMAIL is an echo/netmail processor for Mutant.  If you do
                   not plan on doing Echo/Netmail at this time, leave this
                   set to No.
Modem Type       - By default, SETUP creates a setup for modems which are
                   compatiable with the Hayes Smartmodem 1200.  However, other
                   modem definitions are defined in MODEM.INF and you can
                   select one that may fit your modem better.  If it does not
                   include one:
                        1. Install Mutant anyway
                        2. Read the MUTANT.TXT documentation
                        3. Run, MTNT CONFIG and edit your modem configuration.
                        4. Go to the directory with SETUP and MODEM.INF
                        5. Run, SETUP /C=dest.path\CONFIG.DAT
                        6. Enter the name of your modem.
                   The last three steps add your modem to MODEM.INF for future
                   use.  You may wish to rezip this into the distribution and
                   place it on your BBS.
Install QWK Suppt- Unpacks MTNTQ and moves MTQ-*.* to the screens directory.
                   You will still need to run MTQWKCFG and MTNETCFG in order
                   to use MTQWK and MTNET.

ESC aborts the setup.
F2  attempts to do a complete setup of Mutant.
F10 just creates CONFIG.DAT in the destination directory.

Distribution Files
    If you do not have the following files, you may have a bad/virus infected
version of Mutant BBS.  If so, please inform the sysop of what is missing.

NOTE: I would prefer to use ZIP to distribute Mutant as the latest version
      supports the best compression of all archive utilities available.
      However, legal issues arise with using ZIP.  Therefore, I am using
      Yoshi's LHA v2.13 program to create self-extracting archive files for the
      distribution until I can resolve the legal issues with using ZIP.

SETUP.EXE       - Unpacks Mutant, makes directories and creates a sample
                  configuration.
MODEM.INF       - Known configurations for different modems.  If you're modem
                  does not appear in this file, feel free to add it into this
                  file and rezip the file into the distribution zip.

My apologies for the documentation.  I wish I had somebody who could write
better documentation, but you are stuck with me writing it.  You should
be able to figure it out without to much difficulty.
