                    STEPS FOR THIS SETUP PROCEDURES:
                    ================================

  1. Your Frontend Mailer must already be installed and running.
     I also have various documentations on setting-up Mailers.

  2. Make sure all the needed fileareas are setup on your BBS.

  3.  To get started, you need to download the Allfix! program files from
      any BBS close to you. 

    (i) For Wildcat! BBS setup, you need a shareware copy of Allfix! v1.10+ 
        for Wildcat! BBS, or higher version when available.
        Filename:  AFX!110E.ZIP   Filesize: 679k
        Available on my BBS for first time caller download and can be
        FREQ from my system at 1:278/111 with above filename or
        MagicName of: ALLFIXWC

   (ii) For All other BBS setup, you need a shareware copy of Universal 
        Allfix! v4.33, or higher version when available.
        Filename:  AFIX433.ZIP   Filesize: 756k
        Available on my BBS for first time caller download and can be
        FREQ from my system at 1:278/111 with above filename or
        MagicName of: ALLFIX

  4.  Read the README.TXT and AFIXSET.TXT files that included with this 
      setup documentation package and follow all the instructions.
      Print all the necessary documentations for handy reference.

  5.  Install your Allfix! v1.10 for Wildcat! in a directory called
      \ALLFIX, example: C:\ALLFIX and then create or make the following 
      sub-directories under the above \ALLFIX directory.
      Our example is using drive C: but you can subsitute this for any
      drive you intend to use, just make sure all the directory name
      are the same... you can change the drive letter reference later.
      Uncompress the TEMPLATE.ZIP or TEMPLATE.RAR etc that came in Allfix
      program package into C:\ALLFIX\TEMPLATE\ directory.

      Make the following sub-directories:

            C:\ALLFIX\
            C:\ALLFIX\TICS-OUT\
            C:\ALLFIX\FILE-OUT\
            C:\ALLFIX\AFIX-REC\
            C:\ALLFIX\BAD-TICS\
            C:\ALLFIX\AFIXDUPE\
            C:\ALLFIX\AUTO-ADD\
            C:\ALLFIX\TAGFILES\
            C:\ALLFIX\TEMP\
            C:\ALLFIX\TEMPLATE\
            C:\ALLFIX\BILLINGS\
            C:\ALLFIX\OLD-BILL\

  6.  Copy over all the files in this archive into the C:\ALLFIX directory 
      and overwrite any setup file(s) you already have in this directory. 
      The batch files with *.BAT extension may need editing or modifications.
      Then start ASETUP.EXE in C:\ALLFIX directory to modify your settings.

      The following files are enclosed in this archive:

      README.TXT    -- Part of this setup for what to do.
      AFIXSET.TXT   -- This setup documentation. Print and read carefully.

      AFIXTOSS.BAT  -- Sample batch file to toss your files with Allfix.

  7.  Adjust or modify the batch files (BASIC4.BAT & AFIXTOSS.BAT) 
      enclosed in this packaged so as to fit or suit your drive letter 
      and sub-directory setup of your system.

      AFIXTOSS.BAT --> This is the batch file you will run to make Allfix
                       toss your files each time you receive files from
                       your HUB. You will need to incorporate this batch
                       into the batch file that starts your Frontend Mailer,
                       so that it will run automatically when you poll your
                       HUB and receive files.

          Note: If you are using Planet Connect, you may need to modify
                AFIXTOSS.BAT to move the files from your Planet Connect
                inbound/received files directory to the \ALLFIX\INBOUND\
                directory, or you can just point your Inbound Files path
                directory in Allfix filenames/path setup to the actual
                Planet Connect Inbound directory.

      BASIC4.BAT --> This batch file ONLY need to be run when you want to
                     fix your database. You do not need to run this batch
                     file unless you want to fix your database.
                     I have enclosed this for sample purposes only.
                     I personally run this batch file whenever I make any
                     changes to my Allfix setup with ASETUP.EXE but it's
                     not neccessary unless your database is corrupted or
                     you need to re-index your database.

  8.  If you are running regular or universal Allfix for other BBS software
      you may want to change the color of your Allfix to the regular color
      by selecting System Data, then Miscellaneous, then ASETUP colors, 
      then Homrighausen, and save your setting. Then you should exit
      ASETUP.EXE totally and then restart ASETUP.EXE and you should have
      the regular Allfix setup colors.
      This setup files will come with Wildcat! BBS default color setup and
      you may not like this. If you are running Wildcat! BBS, do nothing!.

  9.  For those running universal Allfix for other BBS setup, (not Wildcat!)
      you must first run FCOMP.EXE to import your fileareas from your BBS
      into Allfix database. Below is the help capture by running FCOMP /?
