METRO-MEZZANINE, Type IV, Version 4.10e
---------------------------------------
We have greatly expanded the partition limits by using DOS' own
inherent file hierarchy structure. Now you are only limited to the
number of filenames that DOS allows, not including the extensions.

We hope that M-M will benefit you in some way so you will register the
product if you have NOT already registered. The Ghostwheel Project is
one of our oldest and most successful software development projects ever,
and a lot of that is due to user support and suggestions. What was once
a little BBS carousel used solely on DevPal systems has grown dramatically
into a very vital part of BBS's and metronets worldwide. We will continue
to support the BBS community with M-M as its need continues to increase.

- WARNING! - WARNING! - WARNING! - WARNING! - WARNING! - WARNING! - WARNING! -

Use the included installation batch file to install M-M on your system.

Also, the STYLES.DOC is not included in this archive at this time. More
research is required to present very informative samples in that document.
Stay tuned. It will also be available separately at DevPalMiami when it
is ready.
