PRINT THIS FILE and use it as a STEP-BY-STEP check list. It is only two printed pages in length. ___ (1) Read FEATURES.NEW. ___ (2) Back-up your current ChatBox 1.0 to 2.7 directory, especially all configuration files. ___ (3) Extract the contents of CBOX32.ZIP into the ChatBox directory. Care should be taken when over-writing these four files: PAGE (the batch file IF running ChatBox as a DOOR). CHATBOX.VIP (List if V.I.P. callers who can page any time). CHATBOX.NOT (List of callers who can never page). DATE.NO (List of dates, holidays etc. paging is off). ___ (4) Run CBSETUP. You will be asked the name of the config file to edit. Answer appropriately. ___ (5) Review ALL configuration parameters. Edit configuration file parameters as desired or needed. F1 help is available at each configuration parameter. ___ (6) You MUST save the configuration file when you exit CBSETUP, even if you made no changes. This action will convert the version 1.x/2.x file to the new format used by ChatBox 3.2. ___ (7) Perform steps 4, 5 and 6 for each configuration file you have. ___ (8) Review old text files you may have called WHY.TXT (now called WHY), HOURS.TXT (now called WHEN), NOT.TXT (now called NO).
