    Okay, you've  just	received  this	file and you have no idea what it is.
    Well, that's where this README file  comes	in.   (Full details on how to
    use this program can be found in the CHGADDR.DOC file.)

    ChgAddr allows you, the Sysop of a RemoteAccess BBS on multiple networks,
    to selectively manipulate your Network  Mail  message  addresses.	While
    RACONFIG  allows  you  to  specify	the appropriate alias address for  an
    EchoMail message area, you don't get that kind of functionality  with the
    NetMail  message  area  (without creating several boards, one for each of
    your aliases).

    Using  a  fairly  simple  script  language,  you  can tell	ChgAddr  what
    addresses you want to change around.    For  example, my system is on two
    networks (one of which is a  private  network and the coordinator of that
    system doesn't want to use a different zone for it), both of which are in
    zone 1.  You can see where	the  problems  might  come.  Sending  mail on
    FidoNet from 1/6  isn't  exactly desireable, especially when that *isn't*
    my address on FidoNet.

    Let's take a quick look at this example:

	 Old-From 1:1/6
	 Old-To All Except 1:1/0 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 11 12 102 103 201
	 New-From 1:129/45

    If a user sends NetMail to node  1/3,  and	my  default  address  is 1/6,
    nothing will be done.  However, if a message is  sent  to 129/26, ChgAddr
    will reset the originating network address to be 129/45, thus eliminating
    net-confusion.

    Does  this	sound  like  something	you  can use?  If so, check  out  the
    documentation for more details (and restrictions).
