Welcome!  Thank you for taking the time to acquire Powerboard version 1.20!

Powerboard is a complete BBS package.  That is, you can run your BBS
with this package alone, without having to acquire other utilities.

Powerboard 1.20 comes complete with internal archive viewer for all archive
formats, an upload .Zip checker, desc.sdi and file_id.diz support, PCRelay,
Fidonet and .Qwk mail support, internal mail reader door, full screen
editor and splitscreen chat internal, ansi drawing program and much more!

Please note that Powerboard 1.20 is a major upgrade from version 1.00 or
1.10.  There are many new files and revised file formats.  Please consult
the manual before installing if you are currently running an older
version of Powerboard.

Please take the time to look over the Powerboard 1.20 manual, which is
contained in the document file called PBMANUAL.DOC and will be located
in the MANUAL subdirectory once Powerboard has been installed.

To install, first copy all of the .Zip files (pb120-1.zip, pb120-2.zip,
pb120-3.zip, pb120-4.zip) into a temporary directory, unzip them into
that directory with PKUNZIP, and then run the INSTALL program.

Once again, thank you for choosing Powerboard 1.20, and good luck
setting up your BBS!
