How to install UltraPak
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How you install UltraPak depends on how you obtained the UltraPak 
distribution.

If you have obtained it from a BBS or via FTP, you will have a file called 
UPAKnn.ZIP, where nn is the version number (e.g. UPAK20.ZIP).  Copy this file 
into a temporary directory on your hard disc and unzip the distribution using 
the PKUNZIP utility.  You should then have the files listed above in that 
directory.  Now run Windows, select Run from the Program Manager File menu 
and enter the path for the SETUP.EXE file.  For example, if you put the files 
into a directory called TEMP on drive C:, then you would enter C:\TEMP\SETUP.  
When you press Enter, the SETUP program will install UltraPak for you.

If you have the UltraPak files on a floppy, then put the floppy into drive A: 
and select "Run" from the File menu in Program Manager.  Type "A:\SETUP" and 
press Enter.

The SETUP program will create a program group and items for you.  You can run 
UltraPak by double-clicking on the UltraPak "TNC" icon.

When running UltraPak for the first time, the default settings for port no.,
baud rate and parity etc. may not be compatible with your TNC.  You have two
choices in this case:

1)  Edit the file ULTRAPAK.INI, located in your WINDOWS directory.  The
parameters that you need to edit are located in the [PortSettings] section.
You may need to edit any or all of the settings in that section.  After
editing, UltraPak should run normally.

2)  Run UltraPak anyway.  After a short delay you will receive an "error"
message telling you that the TNC is not responding and asking you if you
want to continue with UltraPak anyway.  Continue, and then change the port
settings from within UltraPak.  When you have changed the settings, exit
UltraPak and restart it.

The file LICENCE.TXT contains details of the licence agreement for UltraPak.
