 DLG 1.25 BETA distribution
 ==========================

Long in coming, this is a **beta** release of DLG 1.25.  The install
script for this would be a bit bizarre and difficult if not impossible
to assemble, so you will need to install it manually.

 1.   MAKE BACKUPS OR LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!!! :-)

      Specifically, back up everything in DLGConfig:, all control files
      in USER:, all control files in MSG: and FILE:.

 2.   Use GETPORT to shut down all external ports:

         Getport -p TR0
         GetPort -p TR1
                        etc...

 3.   Unpack the archive.  Be sure to use the -a option for LHA to preserve
      the pure bit on all executables.

 4.   CD to the C directory of this archive.

 5.   If upgrading from V1.2.4, copy "FixUsers" from the DLG dir of this
      archive to DLG:, then run it.

 6.   Run the following programs:

         o  ConvertAreas

         o  ConvertAutoScan

         o  ConvertGlobals

         o  ConvertSIGs

         o  ConvertTemplate

         o  ConvertUser

         o  ConvertWM

         o  Update

      If any of these programs fail, STOP RIGHT AWAY and restore your
      backups. Then contact me with the error information.

 7.   If you use an 030 or better (or an 020 with an MMU and FPU), copy
      libs/dlg.library_68030 to LIBS:dlg.library.  Otherwise, copy
      libs/dlg.library_any to ligs:dlg.library.

 8.   Copy the contents of this archive's DLGConfig directory to your
      DLGConfig: directory.

 9.   Take a DEEP breath.

10.   Reboot and restart the BBS.  The old V1.2.4 splash screen will be
      seen, but it will display a V1.25 info string at the bottom.

11.   Log in and test things out.
