- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This program is for Fido/Opus Sysops only. All others will find
- it of NO value. You MUST have a tru compatable to run this software.
-
- WARNING: Read instructions carefully. This program creates
- a network mail file-attach message. In some cases,
- this will result in a LONG-DISTANCE bill. Please
- don't say that I didn't warn you.
-
- --- What is the MegaList?
-
- The "MegaList" is a composite file listing of all participating
- systems. If you wish to be a part of the MegaList, all you must
- do is configure and run the ML-UPD program. To remain in the
- national MegaList, you must send an update file to 135/68 AT LEAST
- every 45 days, or you will be removed.
-
- --- What does it look like? (where do I get it?)
-
- The MegaList is a text file that lists information about all the
- systems participating, then the composite file listing in
- alphabetical order. To get a copy of the latest MegaList, you
- can SEAdog file-request it from 135/68 or download it directly
- at (305) 232-9365. File name : MEGALIST.ARC (or MEGALIST.TXT)
-
- --- What does ML-UPD actually do?
-
- 1) Creates an update file based on your NET and NODE number.
- ie. 00870044.MLU is the MegaList update for 135/68.
-
- 2) Fills the update file with your system information and all
- files listed in your FILES.BBS files.
-
- 3) Trys to ARC the update to xxxxyyyy.MLA; first PKARC, then
- ARC.
-
- 4) Creates a NETWORK file-attach message with the update file.
-
- --- What do I do first?
-
- 1) Install ML-UPD in your Fido or Opus ROOT DIRECTORY.
-
- 2) Type: ML-UPD CONFIG
-
- 3) A screen will appear requiring you to describe your system.
- Comlete the screen, and answer 'YES' to 'Are you sure?'
-
- 4) Type: ML-UPD SEND
-
- 5) Allow a few minutes (depending on your file volume.)
-
- 6) That's all you need to do; at this point:
-
- a) You should have a Network mail message going to 135/68
- b) You should either have a .UPD or .UPA file.
- (UPD - Update file/text format)
- (UPA - ARChive of UPD file)
