			  Installation Guide

Please remember that version numbers will change but the basic installation
will remain the same.

It is also assumed that you are using MS-DOS.  The program will install in
Windows and OS/2, just a little differently.

Also you will need to use the sub-directory letter(s) for your system.  In the
examples that follow I used the letter 'G'.

IF you do NOT have a modem and telephone line connected to your computer when
you install D'Bridge it will beep (5 times) at you.

                Page 1


Make a sub-directory to place D'Bridge into:

G:\>md insta

Copy the D'Bridge and X00 software into that sub-directory

A:\>copy db-154.zip G:\insta
A:\>copy X00v124.zip g:\insta

It would then look something like this:

G:\INSTA>dir

DB-154   ZIP    869112 08-26-93   8:00a
X00V124  ZIP    114241 05-14-93   8:38p

Now make a special sub-directory for X00, something like this:

G:\>md x0

Then unZIP the X00V124.ZIP into that sub-directory:

G:\INSTA>pkunzip x00v124.zip g:\x0

Which would look something like this:

  Exploding: g:/x0/LICENSE.TXT
  Exploding: g:/x0/WHATSNEW.124
  Exploding: g:/x0/X00.SYS
  Exploding: g:/x0/X00USER.DOC
  Exploding: g:/x0/XU.EXE

 Extracting: g:/x0/QBHLLAPI.ZIP
 Extracting: g:/x0/BOB.ZIP

Then unZIP D'Bridge:

G:\INSTA>pkunzip db-154.zip

Which will give you the following files in your sub-directory:

DB-154   ZIP    869112 08-26-93   8:00a
X00V124  ZIP    114241 05-14-93   8:38p
DB-154   EXE   2063029 08-26-93   8:00a
DB-154   DOC      2403 08-26-93   8:00a
READ     ME       2172 08-24-93   7:56p

Next go to your boot drive (usually C:\) and add a line to your CONFIG.SYS
file.  This line will be one of the following all depending on YOUR modem's
speed and the highest speed you can lock your bbs (if loading one under
D'Bridge using D'Bridge as a front end).

Baud 300 to 9600

DEVICE=G:\X0\X00.SYS E

Baud 9600 to 115000

DEVICE=G:\X0\X00.SYS 1 B,0,38400 E

Where you place the number to lock at where it says 38400 and what com port
you are using (1 = 0, 2 = 1, 3 = 2, 4 = 3, etc.).

Next use a text editor to read the file called READ.ME for any last minute
information.

Now RE-BOOT your computer so the change in the CONFIG.SYS will take effect.

Ignor this next screen IF you have loaded X00 in your CONFIG.SYS.


     WARNING: Using X00.SYS as a device driver may not function correctly
              with D'Bridge.  Please remove X00 from your CONFIG.SYS file
              and used the supplied X00.EXE in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file instead.

     D'Bridge is a Fidonet-based EMAIL system.  Simlar to a telephone number, 
     Fidonet uses a 4-part "address" to define each system.  An address       
     consists of four numbers: ZONE, NET, NODE and POINT.  They are used      
     as follows:                                                              
                                                                              
     ZONE     Usually defines a continent (1=America, 2=Europe, 3=Australia)  
     NET      Usually represents a local calling area (city)                  
     NODE     Specifies an individual system witin a NET                      
     POINT    For most systems, use zero (see documentation)                  
                                                                              
     Do not pick a number at random; contact your network administrator       
     for the correct assignment.  If you are setting up a private network,    
     please read the user documentation for further information.

     D'Bridge already knows how to dial long-distance calls in most cases.    
     What it doesn't know is which phone numbers are within your local        
     calling area.  To do this, you must specify what "prefix" to remove      
     from phone numbers in order to place local calls.                        
                                                                              
     In most countries, you can simply specify your COUNTRY CODE and AREA     
     CODE.  For example, in Miami, Florida I use "1" as my country code       
     (meaning US/Canada) and "305" as my area code.  This means that for      
     any phone number beginning with 1-305, I will usually place as a local   
     call.  Of course, there are always exceptions to this; most area codes   
     cover more than one local calling area an (in the US) I'll need to dial  
     a "1" before the number, but you'l need to read the user documentation   
     for a complete explanation of that...                                    
                                                                              
     What is your COUNTRY CODE?  1                                            
                     AREA CODE?  503
