This program, SETUP.EXE, performs the following functions:

1. Copies all necessary program components to the
directory of your choice, and sets up necessary
sub directories for the program's proper operation.

2. Asks you to select whether you wish to use
WinNET Communications as your Internet/Usenet provider,
or an alternate service provider.

3. Asks you to specify your local time zone in relation
to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

4. If you selected WinNET Communications as your Internet/
Usenet provider:

Asks for your name and asks you to choose a System Name
and a E-Mail Name that will be used to create your
Internet mailing address. For instance, if you choose:

E-Mail Name: smith
System Name: eagle

your Internet mailing address would become:

[email protected]

Or, if you selected an alternate provider:

Asks you for the user name, system name, login
password, and remote system name (server machine
name) provided to you by your network access
provider for your account with them. You should have
this information available before continuing further
with setup.

5. Asks you to provide the information necessary for
WinNET Mail to talk with your modem. If you are not
using WinNET Communications as your Internet/Usenet
provider, you will also need to supply the telephone
number of your service provider's system.

6. Installs all program files.

7. If you selected WinNET Communications as your Internet
service provider, the program will proceed to automatically
setup your Internet account on the WinNET server. This
permits you to use your WinNET Mail system in a matter of
minutes.

This part of the program proceeds in three steps:

A. Mailing Address Information is requested. This includes
your Name, Address, and Telephone numbers.

Billing Information is requested. Automatic
registration can only occur for Credit Card payers.
Please see TERMS.TXT or press the TERMS button on
the Billing Information screen for full Terms and
Conditions of your WinNET account.

B. With all of the necessary information provided, this
program will then attempt to connect to the WinNET
server using your modem with the Communications
Parameters you provided during setup.

If there is a problem at this step, it is most likely
due to Communications Parameters settings. See the
TROUBLE.TXT file for more information.

If successful, this program will transfer your account
request with Mailing and Billing information to the
WinNET server. It will hang-up after the transfer.

C. This program will then pause for about one minute as it
gives the WinNET server time to validate and establish
your account.

After one minute, this program calls the WinNET server
again to verify successful set up. If successful, you
will receive introductory mail from the WinNET server.

8. Creates a new Program Group (window) to hold the
programs (icons) for WinNET programs. The six
programs are:

A. WinNET Mail -- The main program that you will
run daily to send and receive mail.

B. Call Server -- The communications program that you
can run directly when you want to send or
receive your mail immediately.

C. Scheduler -- A background program that
schedules communications calls for any time of
the day or night. You can include this program
in you StartUp Program group or on the LOAD=
line in your WIN.INI file.

D. WinNET Setup -- This setup program which
you may re-run in the future to adjust
communications settings.

E. Queue Editor -- This program is used to view mail
in the outgoing queue and to delete, recycle, or modify
the To: and CC: address.

F. News Cleanup -- This program removes or archives news
articles from your news folders.
