** IMPORTANT **
---------------
    When unzipping the main DogWorld archive (DGWRL301.ZIP), it is
  required that new files in the archive overwrite any old files
  that may exist in a previous version of DogWorld. If you unzipped
  this archive into an existing DogWorld directory, and you said no
  to the "do you want to overwrite" message, then your installation
  will probably fail. You should go back and unzip the main archive
  again using the -o switch, ie. "PKUNZIP -o DGWRL301.ZIP". That will
  force PKUNZIP to unzip and overwrite any old files. Then use the
  UNPACK.BAT file to unpack the DogWorld ][ game files.


DOGWORLD ][ v3.01 Quick Install

NEW INSTALLATION:
-----------------

      If you are running multinode, you should have share.exe (or equivalent)
    installed.

STEP 1:

      Unzip the main DogWorld archive into an empty directory.
    Example: "PKUNZIP DGWRL301.ZIP"

STEP 2:

      Finish unpacking the DogWorld ][ archive by running the batch file -
    "UNPACK.BAT". UNPACK.BAT unzips the file DOG301.EXE which contains
    most of the DogWorld ][ files.

STEP 3:

      Run DOGEDIT.EXE. Setup your bbs nodes and starting game settings
    inside DogEdit. Under "Game Options" run (H)..Reset Whole Game, so
    that the number of days the game has been running will be correct.

STEP 4:

      Modify the batch file DOG1.BAT to match your system and setup
    your BBS to run this batch file.

    HINT! Some BBS's run doors directly. In those cases, the
          DOG1.BAT file will not be needed. Just make sure your
          BBS package changes into the DogWorld ][ directory and
          executes the command "DOG.EXE /N:x" (where x is the node number).

                EXAMPLE: "DOG.EXE /N:1"

          (Refer to your BBS documentaion for more info on setting up doors).

** IMPORTANT NOTE TO LANTASTIC USERS!! **
If you run Lantastic v6.0 you should also run the batch file: DO-LAN.BAT
so that the main DogWorld ][ files are marked as read-only. 

UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION:
----------------------------------

    WARNING!! It is always a good idea to backup your entire DogWorld ][
directory before attempting an upgrade. If something does go wrong, it
is better to be safe than sorry!

STEP 1

      Run the batch file NO-LAN.BAT to turn off the read-only attribute
    on the main DogWorld ][ files. (if you previously ran DO-LAN.BAT).
      Unzip the main DogWorld zipfile inside your existing DogWorld
    directory by typing "PKUNZIP -o DGWRL301.ZIP". Finish up by running
    the file - UNPACK.BAT. The batch file will unzip DogWorld ][ and will
    preserve all your old settings, players, one-liner dialogs, daily news,
    and enemies.

STEP 2

      Run DOGEDIT.EXE and turn on "multinode" support if you are running on
    a network. (share or equivalent must be installed for multinode support)
    Run the batch file - DO-LAN.BAT if you are running on a LAN.



Good Luck! Hope you enjoy the game! Let me know what you think!
