Chapter 1       To build up a NT Pro system
     ===========================================
     
     1.1     Neccesary equipment
     ---------------------------
     NT Pro requires OS2.x. With this new OS, we can use a lot of new 
     functions not available in OS1.x.

     You need AT LEAST 1 MB RAM-memory, but more memory is highly recommended.

     You can run a NT Pro system on just a computer and a diskdrive, but of
     course this isn't to recommend. How big harddrive you choose is up to 
     you and the weight of your wallet.
     The bigger HD, the greater BBS is a simple (and almost true) rule.

     You'll also need a Hayes compatible modem. Modems like Supra, USR or 
     Datel will do good. NT Pro has no speed-limit for the modem.
     Which modem you choose also depends on the weight of your wallet!


     1.2     To build up a BBS from scratch
     --------------------------------------
     * Copy all system files from the NT-disk to your harddrive.
       That is all files in LIBS-, L- and the S-libraries which should be
       in your sys: pathway (LIBS,L and S) instead.

     * Create a directory on your harddrive where you want the executables.
       For example DH0:NT or DH0:BBS.

     * Create an ASSIGN to this new directory with the Workbench command
       ASSIGN. For example: "ASSIGN NT: DH0:NT".
       Also put this new assign in your startup-sequence or user-startup
       if a such exists.

     * Look at the included NT-STARTUP script (found on the NT-disk in the
       S-directory) and move all NT startup-lines to your startup-sequence.
       Make sure you don't forget to set the STACK value there, on not
       either forget to run the FIFO-Handler.
       What stackvalue to use is special for each version of NT Pro, so talk
       to the support-BBS sysops if you are unsure. A stack that is too low
       will most likely GURU your system.

     * Copy the rest of the files from the NT-disk to your NT: path.

     * Pur yourself in the NT: assign by typing "NT:" at the CLI-prompt.
       Here you should start the script named CLEARNT. You do it with the
       Workbench command EXECUTE (Ie. "EXECUTE CLEARNT").
       This script will delete already existing datafiles and will create
       all required directories which may not exist in your system.
       After this, DELETE or move the CLEARNT scriptfile just to make sure
       you don't start it any more time accidenticaly.

     * Load the file, NT.CFG, into a suitable texteditor. Edit it and make
       it fit your needs, equipment and wishes.
       More information about NT.CFG you'll find in chapter 3.1.
       You'll also find a lot of help inside the file NT.CFG.

     * It's now time to start NT Pro's communication central.
       It is called the SERVER and is the part of the system that takes care
       of reading/writing the datafiles etc.
       You'll start the SERVER by writing "RUN SERVER" in your CLI.
       The SERVER is futher explained in chapter 2.2, but for now this will
       do.
       The SERVER will now read all datafiles your system requires, and
       also the configurationfiles NT.CFG and COMMAND.DAT.

     * You may, and SHOULD, now do your first login.
       Local logins are made with the NTCon program (see chapter 2.2) which
       is started with the command "RUN NTCON".
       Log in with the name "new" (or whatever you've changed it to in your
       Language.DAT file!) and fill in all the questions you'll get as a
       new user.

       NOTE!> The user who logs in first will automatical become sysop.
              Therefor, it's very important that YOU are the first user
              to login, via NTCon, and that you don't start NTSer before
              the system is ready for it!

     * When you've registered, you should create the Mailbox in your BBS.
       This is the meeting where all private letters, between the users of
       the BBS, are stored.
       After that, you're ready to create meetings and fileareas!
       More information about that part, you'll find in chapter 4.1 and 5.1.

     * Your system is now ready to receive calls from users via modem!
       Start NTSer (see chapter 2.2) and expect yourself to have a nice time
       with NT Pro in the future!


     1.3     To restart an aldready running BBS
     ------------------------------------------
     Make sure the SERVER and the nodes are down.
     Put yourself in the NT: path.
     From here, start the CLEARNT script.
     All datafiles will be deleted and your BBS is restarted from
     scratch again. When the script has ended, reboot your computer
     when your harddrive isn't writing any more...

     You may also manage to restart the BBS on your own.
     Delete all the files in the TEXTS directory. Also delete all files in
     the DATFILES direcoty, except from SYSTEM0.DAT, STATISTIC0.DAT,
     LANGUAGE.DAT and COMMAND.DAT.
     Then copy SYSTEM0.DAT to SYSTEM.DAT and STATISTIC0.DAT to STATISTIC.DAT.
     Also delete all old logfiles and, at last, reboot your computer.
