            Supplement to GAP Communications Documentation.
            
            Please read this file before doing anything else!
            
            
            
            In order  to get  you started as quickly as possible, do the
            following :
            
              Create the following directories :
            
                \GAP
                \GAP\MAIN
                \GAP\GEN
                \GAP\HELP
            
            
              Un-Zip GAPDEMO1.ZIP into the \GAP directory.
              Un-Zip GAPDEMO2.ZIP into the \GAP directory.
              Un-Zip MAIN.ZIP     into the \GAP\MAIN directory.
              Un-Zip GEN.ZIP      into the \GAP\GEN  directory.
              Un-Zip HELP.ZIP     into the \GAP\HELP directory.
            
            
              Note that MAIN.ZIP,  GEN.ZIP,  and  HELP.ZIP  are included
              in the same archive as this documentation.
            
            
              The files are now in their correct locations.
            
            
            Print out  the GAP  documentation as  you will need it while
            setting up  your system.   Print out GAPLICEN.TXT and set it
            aside for now.
            
            From your  \GAP directory, type GAP.  The configuration pro-
            gram will  automatically run.   The  documentation will help
            you tailor  GAP to  your needs.   After  you have saved your
            configuration  options,  you  will  be  taken into  the User
            Editor so that you may set yourself up as Sysop.
            
            It is  IMPORTANT you understand that if you do NOT configure
            your system  first, before  logging on to your BBS, you will
            be forced, sooner or later, to re-start from scratch.


            Keep in mind that your FileBase will be empty when you first
            set up and configure your system.  Because of this, you will
            receive a "Could Not Open ISAM Database Files" error message
            if you attempt to access the Files System  (Command F F from
            the Main Command Prompt) from within GAP.  This message will
            go away  when you  add a  file to  the FileBase  (using  the 
            FileBase Editor).  If you have  RBBS type ASCII  file direc-
            tories  (or PCB DIRxx type directories)  and these files are
            properly formatted,  the FileBase Editor  will read them and
            create your initial database for you.

            Remember  the   GAP License Agreement  that  you  set  aside
            earlier.   Please fill it out and return it at your earliest
            convenience.   We want to help you enhance your BBS into one
            of the  best in  the nation.  We cannot do that if we do not
            know who you are!
            
            The disk based  documentation is lengthy and can take a very
            long time to  print out.  If you prefer,  you may  order the
            printed manual.  This will save you a great deal of time not
            to mention  paper!  While the  textual content  of the  disk
            based manual is the same as the printed manual,  the printed
            version is easier to  read and follow  because of its layout
            and use  of artwork.  Please  refer to the  enclosed License
            Agreement for further information about ordering the printed
            manual.
            
            Let us  know how  you are doing!  We are here to help you in
            any way possible.


            Special Note : The supplied GAP.BAT file does  NOT set a de-
            fault directory and drive.   After configuring  your system,
            you should edit the file  and place the following  two lines
            at the top of the file :

                c:               <<-- or whatever your default drive is
                cd \gap          <<-- or whatever your default dir is


            The file was supplied  without this information so that you
            could configure your system based upon your hardware.
