     If you are converting from a previous version of GT POWER, it would be
     an excellent idea to backup your hard drive(s) before beginning.  Care
     has been taken and considerable testing has been  done,  but  mistakes
     are  always possible when upgrading software from one release level to
     the next.

     PLEASE NOTE: After changing to GT POWER 15.50 remember to  remove  the
                  /OC from the command line on the netmail programs.

     To migrate from GT POWER 14.xx  to  15.50,  you  must  run  the  SYSOP
     program.  Select  the  (I)mport  option to convert GTMAIL and GTMESSAG
     files to the new format.  There will be 1 central user file,  which is
     called  USER.CTL,  which has an index file associated with it,  called
     USER.IDX.  In each message area the MESSAGE.CTL file will replace  the
     GTMESSAG.CTL  file,  and  there  will  be  created  a USER_MSG.CTL and
     associated USER_MSG.IDX.  The USER_MSG files will  record  information
     concerning which messages have been read by a user in each area.  Also
     these  files  will  enable  the new UNjoin command to function.  It is
     possible that the USER.IDX file might become damaged, if so, the SYSOP
     program provides a (C)onstruct user index file  option.  This  command
     will go thru and build a fresh USER.IDX file from the USER.CTL file.

     After  running the SYSOP program to import your GT control files,  the
     WEEKDAY.COM program must be run to  install  the  day-of-week  in  the
     message bases.  Once done, it will be kept up-to-date automatically.

     Also,  you  must convert your phone directory from the old format with
     the GT_UTIL.COM program,  which is provided.  The phone directory  has
     some added fields and expanded others.

     Also,  when converting from 14.xx to 15.50, the  new external protocol
     interface requires that the Kermit batch files be redone.  Please read
     examine the KR??.BAT files included for an example.

     Please note the new files provided:

         GT.WIN ......... Must be present and unchanged for GT to run.

         SYSOP.BBS ...... Replaces old SYSOP.BBS, this file may be
                          customized by the user.

         TDOOR.EXE ...... Replaces the old DOOR.EXE.
