Maximus 3.0 Manual Upgrade Procedure
                ====================================

This document describes the MANUAL conversion procedure for
upgrading a Maximus 2.0 system to Maximus 3.0.

In almost all cases, you will want to use the AUTOMATIC conversion
procedure to do the upgrade.  Only use the MANUAL conversion procedure
if your Maximus control files are extremely complex and the automatic
conversion procedure does not convert the control files properly.

Please see the README.1ST file for information on the AUTOMATIC
upgrade procedure.

Manual upgrade steps
--------------------

- MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM.

- Run the install program.  Select "upgrade", but in the upgrade
  screen, DESELECT all options except for the "Extract 3.0 files"
  and "convert tag file" options.

* Convert EVENTS file to the new format.  (See the system
  documentation.)

* MAX.CTL: Remove "Area Data" and "Area Index"; add "MessageData
  MAREA" and "FileData FAREA".  Change "File Password User.Bbs" to
  "File Password User".

* Convert msgarea.ctl / filearea.ctl to the new control file format.
  See the program documentation for more details on the new syntax.

* Edit menus.ctl to change:

        Area_Change File        -> File_Area
        Contents                -> File_Contents
        Download                -> File_Download
        Locate                  -> File_Locate
        NewFiles                -> File_NewFiles
        Upload                  -> File_Upload
        Type                    -> File_View
        Raw                     -> File_Raw
        Override_Path           -> File_Override
        Area_Change Message     -> Msg_Area
        Enter_Message           -> Msg_Enter
        Forward                 -> Msg_Forward
        Xport                   -> Msg_Xport
        Statistics              -> MEX  m\stats

        Remember that "Area_Change File" becomes just "File_Area",
        and similarly with "Area_Change Message".  The new commands
        need no arguments.  The final line should look something
        like this:

        Msg_Area                                Twit  "Area Change"

        Also, the replacement for the old Statistics command should
        look something like this:

                MEX     m\stats                 Twit "Statistics"

* Add the following to MENU MESSAGE:

  NoDsp   Msg_Change                                 Twit "`46"   ; alt-c
  NoDsp   Read_Previous                              Twit "`75"   ; left
  NoDsp   Read_Original                              Twit "`115"  ; ctrl-left
  NoDsp   Read_Next                                  Twit "`77"   ; right
  NoDsp   Read_Reply                                 Twit "`116"  ; ctrl-right
  NoDsp   Msg_Reply                                  Twit "`16"   ; alt-q
  NoDsp   Msg_Reply                                  Twit "`19"   ; alt-r
  NoDsp   Msg_Kill                                   Twit "`37" "="; alt-k
  %Msg_Download_Attach                           Disgrace "!Download Attaches"
  %Msg_Reply_Area  .                             Disgrace "&Reply Elsewhere"

* Remove all "MenuHeader" lines from MENUS.CTL.

* Add the following to the MESSAGE, FILE, CHAT and CHANGE menus
  (respectively):

  HeaderFile :m\headmsg
  HeaderFile :m\headfile
  HeaderFile :m\headchat
  HeaderFile :m\headchg

* In MAX.CTL, revise "Format {Msg/File}Format" to use "%-20"
  instead of "%-9.9".

* Add to the SYSTEM section of MAX.CTL:
        %File Callers    Callers
        MCP Pipe        \pipe\maximus\mcp
        MCP Sessions    16
        File Access     Access

* Remove these statements from the SESSION section of MAX.CTL:
        Userlist Minimum
        Userlist Maximum
        Ratio Threshold
        Upload Reward
        Define <priv> <keyword>

* Add these statements to the SESSION section of MAX.CTL:

        Check    RIP
        MaxMsgSize      8192
        Min RIP Baud    65535
        RIP Path        RIP
        Track Base      Trk

    Message Edit Ask LocalAttach Normal

* Add "Include Access.Ctl" immediately after the "End System
  Section" line in MAX.CTL.

* Add to the READER menu in menus.ctl:

          Msg_Restrict                          Disgrace "Restrict Date"

* Remove all of the following lines from colours.ctl:

    Menu        {Name,Highlight,Text}
    Hotflash    {Bar,More,Clear}
    File        {Name,Size,Date,Desc,Find,Offline,New}
    Message     {From,FromTxt,To,ToTxt,Subj,SubjTxt,Attrib,Date,
                 Address,Locus,Body,Quote,Kludge}
    FSR         {MsgNum,MsgLinks,Attribute,MsgInfo,Date,Address,Static,
                 Border}

* Add "set maximus=d:\path\max.prm" to autoexec.bat (DOS) or
  config.sys (OS/2).

* Remove all "Define xxx" statements from the SESSION section of
  max.ctl.

* Change to your \max\olr\dats directory and run "del *.*". This

  created by Max 2.x will be prompted to enter a new area when
  uploading those packets.

  for %f in (*.mex) do mex %f

  (If you run this from a .bat or .cmd file, replace "%f" with
  "%%f".)

* Change to your \max directory and run:

  silt max -u

* Change to your \max directory and run:

  fb -a
