THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE 1.52 DISTRIBUTION. NOTE: The BULLCP process should be stopped using the BULLETIN/STOP command before the new version of BULLETIN is installed. It can then be restarted using the BULLETIN/STARTUP command. (The INSTALL_REMOTE.COM command procedure does this automatically for remote nodes.) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED V1.52, AND ARE RUNNING BULLCP, THE MESSAGES IN THE FOLDERS MAY HAVE BEEN DELETED. IF THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER THE MESSAGES IS FROM BACKUP TAPE (ASSUMING YOU DO BACKUPS!). ALSO, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING, WHICH WAS INCLUDED, BUT WHICH SOME USERS MAY HAVE NOT HAVE NOTICED: (The format of the .BULLDIR will change. After successful installation, the older versions of these files can be removed. This format change can take a significant amount of time if the folder is large. If your site has large folders, it is suggested that the new version be installed during off peak hours.) I have been on vacation the past week, which is why I am just now responding to messages that I received last week. MRL
