********************************   WARNNING   *******************************


     ALL E-MAIL AND NEWS ARTICLES THAT ARE READY FOR TRANSMISSION MUST BE 
     SENT PRIOR TO INSTALLING OASIS 1.33E. ANY THAT ARE NOT WILL BE LOST!


     FALCON USERS MUST RESET THEIR MACHINES AFTER EACH AND EVERY SELF
     EXTRACTING PROGRAM HAS BEEN RUN. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE BUGS THAT
     OCCUR WITHIN ST-ZIP FILES!!!!

     
********************************   WARNNING   *******************************



     Welcome to OASIS Version 1.33E. This will DEFINATLEY be the last major
Freeware version of OASIS. 

     Due to the many changes and improvements made within OASIS since the
release of version 1.12. The way E-Mail and News files are handled has been
radically revised, this is part of the steady move away from the original NOS
utilities and file formats.

          To this end total conversion of all previous OASIS files is not
practical. As part of the changes to version 1.33E Outmail is now accessable
via the Post Box, to be viewed as normal E-Mail. This unfortunately means that
any existing Outmail files are useless and can only be viewed via a text
editor. All new Outmail created by version 1.33E will automatically filed
under the new format.

     First run the self extracting archive FILES.TOS, this will create a
folder called OASIS133. This should be in the root of the drive you wish to
install OASIS on.
     To Install OASIS 1.33E run INST_133.PRG. If you have a previous version
of OASIS or NOS on the same drive, the Install program will display the
options of data transfer that are available. Included within this is the
option for MagiC!. The options available are automatically selected by
INST_133, but you may deselect any you wish. When you are satisfied with the
level of conversion, click on Install. A series of Dialogs will appear to
inform you of the proccesses taking place. 

     When completed, a Dialog appears to let you know, you may now use OASIS
1.33E as normal.

     You can now delete the self extracting files (although it may be good
practice to keep a copy of OASIS133.TOS somewhere safe in case of accidents).

     If any errors occur during installation please refer to the ERROR.TXT
file supplied. 

     In contrast to previous version of OASIS no other software is required to
get up and running. 

     Also due to the difficulties experienced by many people in setting up NOS
0.42, it is included here configured ready for use! Due to the number of
people who expressed difficulties in setting up OASIS, the files included here
are complete and ready to run.

     In the worst possible circumstance, this can be achieved by renaming the
OASIS133 folder to OASIS. Run OASIS and enter your personal details via the 
Setup option under the InterNet menu. 

     If you have already been using OASIS or NOS, the Install program
INST_133.PRG will copy your E-Mail and News files into the new OASIS folder
ready for conversion by OASIS version 1.32E. 

     To preserve any data you may have stored in your OASIS folder, it is
renamed OLDOASIS by the Installation program. 

     Please Note: You will be unable to run the old version of OASIS from this
folder, unless it is renamed back to OASIS!

     Please enjoy OASIS, and while you are doing so please spare a moment to
reflect upon the hours of effort (nay blood, sweat, tears, sleepless nights
and GALLONS of coffee) that have gone into its development. May you have as
much pleasure using it as we have had writing it!!!!!

     Please report any bugs/problems/errors/thoughts/thanks/MONEY (lack of,not
