Welcome to PowerBBS for Windows (Shareware).  An an <ASP>
product, this is a true Shareware package.  The following
illustrates installing PowerBBS.  It is suggested that you
also take a look at the PBBSDOC.WRI file on disk #3 of the
shareware distribution for a complete introduction to PowerBBS.
This file is in Windows Write format.  Simply run WRITE.EXE
from within windows and load this file, for easy viewing and
printing.

    Upgrading From Previous Version

	Follow the normal instructions for installing as explained
below.  If SETUP determines that you already have PowerBBS set
up, it will only replace the files that are newer than the ones
already found on your system.

    Installing

    Create a temporary directory on your drive (for example TEMP).
PKUNZIP the shareware files onto this directory.  Then from
within the Windows Program Manager select File, Run, SETUP.EXE
(you can use the browse button to find SETUP.EXE).  

	SETUP first needs to know where the files are located.  If you
are installing from the A drive, then you simply need to put A:\.

	SETUP also needs to know where to install PowerBBS to.  If you
want to install to your C: drive, put C:\.  For the D drive, put
D:\, and so on.

	PowerBBS will now be installed in its default configuration. 
When the SETUP program is finished, you will have a fully
functional, local node.  Keep in mind that SETUP also needs to
create a users file, and will ask you for your user Name and
password.  You must have this information to log onto your BBS
later.  Do not forget them and try to use some unique password
that you are not using on any other system.
