     What is EZOL?
     

     EZOL stands for EZ_Online, a simple little application designed to
     promote BBS calling in your area through the distribution of FREE
     promotional packets.  EZOL automatically installs the neat
     shareware terminal program, BananaCom! and the freeware file
     viewer VIEW. It also provides the fundamental information a new
     caller needs to get comfortable with the idea of "going online" to
     nearby BBS's.



     EZOL_01.ZIP is for SysOps Only
     

     You've received an archive intended for BBS SysOp's.  It contains
     the files that comprise the "EZ_Online" handout diskette, plus
     some other information intended only for SysOp's (which should not
     be included in the handout).

     EZOL_APP.ZIP contains all the files for the EZ_Online distribution
     diskette.  Unzip these into a directory called ...

                                c:\ezol_01

     EZOL_BBS.ZIP contains several files that will permit you to
     customize EZ_Online for your BBS and your local calling area.
     Unzip these files into a directory called ...

                             c:\ezol_01\sysop

     The SYSOP.TXT file in the EZOL_BBS.ZIP archive will provide you
     with full details on how to customize, package and distribute
     EZ_Online as a FREE handout packet.




     PREVIEWING EZ_Online
     

     If you're eager to see what EZ_Online does before going any
     further, move the files in C:\EZOL_01 to a floppy, then log onto
     that drive in DOS and type INSTALL ...

                          copy c:\ezol_01\*.* a:
                          a:\install

     Install doesn't change any of your setup files, but will create a
     c:\ezol directory and a c:\modem directory, and will not proceed if
     it finds pre-existing directories with these names.

     You can remove everything that EZ_Online installs by using your
     EZOL floppy again ...

                          a:\uninstal
