                     Ezycom Software Development Team

                               Presents

                             Ezycom V2.00

          If you are installing V2.00 from scratch, extract
          EZY200-1 & EZY200-2 into a temporary directoy and
          then from that temporary directory, type INSTALL
          and fill out the necessary information. After INSTALL
          is completed add the EZY dir to your path statement,
          reboot and then in the EZY dir type EZYCFG -N1
          You can exit it right away and then type EZYIDX -BUILD
          and then type EZY -L -N1 to view a local logon and
          peruse the default BBS setup. Afterwards, read the
          manual for further configuration installation and
          customization instructions.

          If you are installing in OS/2 or DOS then ensure
          that you have a copy of arj.exe in your path or
          in the same directory where install.exe is found.

          Install will search for arj, arj32, unarj, in that
          order and for DOS and OS/2 only arj will work.

          The install routine has been tested using arj versions
          2.41, 2,50, 2.60, 2.70 and 2.81a in Win98/98SE/XP,
          Warp 4 & pure DOS

                       **** Upgrading from 1.20 ****

          Due to the extensive changes in version 2.00 you will need to
          upgrade to v1.48 before applying the v2.00 upgrade. If your
          current BBS is unregistered, install v2.00 from scratch and
          apply for a registration key.

          If you do not have the v1.48G0 upgrade package, you can obtain
          it from a Development or Beta Team Member. Consult part 2
          (EZY-2.txt) of the documentation for contact points.

          Upgrading v1.20 to v1.48:

          o Unarj EZY148G0 into your Ezycom directory.
          o Extract ezymain.arj
          o Run 120to148. Answer YES to all the questions.
          o Run updlang to update your Language File.
          o Run config for each line

          ** NOTE **

          If, you find your menus can not be located, go into
          langedit, and edit the details of the languages with
          Alt D, to change the Menu Paths

                      **** Upgrading from 1.48g0 ****

          Extract 148to200.arj in your ezycom directory
          Extract ezymain.arj in your ezycom directory
          Extract ezyutil1.arj in your ezycom directory
          Extract ezyutil2.arj in your ezycom directory

          o Run 148to200.Exe and answer YES to all the questions.
          o Run UPDLANG to update your Language File.
          o Run EZYCFG for each line
          o Check and edit your BBS batch file to handle the
            new errorlevel 11 - Carrier Dropped

Whats NEW in V2.00:


Problems fixed and Changes in 2.00


    o  EZY:
        1. When tagging files for download, there is now no need to press
           <ENTER> in between each file and the user is returned back to
           the file list after the last file is processed.
        2. User's file & message groups are now saved between logins. This
           means for the sysop that (s)he can now set up a default file
           and message group of favourite areas which will be already
           available when (s)he logs in. Users will be able to 'join'
           groups as defined by the sysop which will be their default
           group until they change it. 0 still defaults to all groups.


    o  EZYCFG:
        1. Config.exe & Config.ovr renamed to EzyCfg.exe & EzyCfg.ovr.
        2. Changed the Message Areas Menu Option to Mail Areas.
        3. Changed the Modem Menu Option to Comms.
        4. Changed/added more help lines, corrected spelling etc.
        5. Fixed a bug that caused EZYCFG to crash if 'S' was pressed in
           FILE AREAS | FILE AREAS | UPLOAD PATH and the current value
           was 0.
        6. Split MANAGER | LIMITS into two (2) screens. 1st screen
           configures Time/Kb Bank # of logons etc. 2nd screen configures
           DailyKB/Baud rates. This was done to accomodate the extra BAUD
           rates in COMMS | BAUD RATES.
        7. When first entering the 'EVENTS' Option, you now have the
           ability to EDIT the Start Time of the event. Any further up/dn
           cursor movement disables it again, leaving just the 'Status',
           'Errorlevel' & 'Days To Run' options to edit.
        8. When 'inserting' a new limits record, 1 is now added to the
           current level, ie, if you are currently at SecLevel 10 and you
           press INSert, the next one created will be 11 instead of 5.
           Future versions will also copy the current level's settings to
           the new level, effectively giving you a 'COPY' feature.

    o Ezymenu:
        1. Menu option 88 now has a choice of B, E, N, Q. 'N' now allows
           the user to reset their LRPs to any value between 0 & the max
           messages for that area.
