THE CELLAR DOOR MOD FILES 1018

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a general guide to the files included in CDORxxxx.ZIP.

NEW INSTALLATION:
-----------------
If this is a first time installation of the CDor mods, please take time to read
CDOOR.DOC and follow the directions therein.  There are a LOT of things that 
must be done to get a working version.  This is no easy task and will take a 
couple nites.  Take your time, and you should have no problems.  Jump into it 
all without reading anything or just quickly scanning what I took quite a while 
to write, and you WILL have problems!

UPGRADING:
----------
If you are updating from a previous version of the CDor mods, please review
the WHATSNEW file for important information pertaining to this version that has
changed since the last version you have.  Complete information will always be
located towards the END of the CDOOR.DOC file.

DISCLAIMER:
-----------
I do not make any gurantees that these mods will work.  They DO work on my
computer just great.  If anything goes wrong, it's all your fault, and I am
not responsible for your actions or my mods on your system nor responsible
for any loss whatsoever.  But seriously, they HAVE been tried straight from
these MRG files and BAT files before being released.  All bugs I am aware of
are documented in the file BUGS.BUG.  All BUGS discovered inbetween versions
are posted, usually with FIXES in the CDOOR echo (see CDORECHO.DOC).

BE UP-TO-DATE!
--------------
The latest version of CDORxxxx.ZIP is always available from the Cellar Door RBBS
at (505) 763-1795 except between the hours of 2am - 3am MST.  The File is also
FREQable with the magic name of CDOR from 8:903/2 and 1:318/1

IF YOU NEED HELP
----------------
I try to help anyone who asks.  If you need help, call the BBS at the above
number or send netmail to me and I will answer.  If you send netmail, I may
or may not netmail you back (depends on the budget!).
Give a about 24 hours before you poll for a reply.  If my system cannot connect
with your system, your reply will be on hold until a time I decide that you
are not going to poll back and your netmail reply will be removed.
If you log onto my BBS, please leave questions in the CDOOR conference where
there are many other sysops running the CDor mods who also might be able to
help which in turn helps me.

THE CDOOR ECHOMAIL CONFERENCE:
------------------------------
I have set up an Echomail conference dedicated to helping as best I can anyone
who asks about RBBS in general and these mods specifically.  If you would like
to get this echo in FidoNet technology message format only, then NETMAIL your
desire to 1:318/1 or 8:903/2 and you will be set right up.
