             contained in the SERVICES.ZIP also has some display screens.
             If you are adding a service, then you need to unzip the
             SERVICES.ZIP file too.




 3) *****> REMEMBER!! ONLY DO THIS STEP BELOW IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE IT AND
    ARE UPGRADING FROM V4.0x CatCharge! to Version 4.1X Catcharge! files!!!
    IF YOU HAVE RUN THE UP40TO41.WCX PROGRAM, The UPGRADE PROCESS OF THE
    DATABASE FILES IS COMPLETE. YOU WILL ONLY NEED THE NEW CATCHG.WCX and
    CCONFIG.EXE files.  YOU CAN NOT USE THIS UPGRADE FOR CatCHarge! v3.x or
    BELOW.  See UPGRADING NOTES BELOW FOR THOSE VERSIONS!


     Bring all your Wildcat! Nodes DOWN and go to your Wildcat Home
     directory.  AT the Wildcat! Home Directory, Type the following:

                  -= CAUTION! ONLY RUN THIS PROGRAM 1 TIME =-


   C:\WC40> WILDCAT /R C:\WILDCAT\CATCHG\UP40to41.WCX

        (Substitute C:\WILDCAT\CATCHG\ with your CatCharge! directory)
        NOTE!  You MUST run the UP40to41.WCX from the Wildcat! home
        Directory!!!                                  --------


 4)  If you plan to use the NEW TABS MULTI-COMBINATION setup, Make sure
     you edit the TRATES.BBS Screen to explain the new plans to the user.

 5)  Print-Screen the Current CATCHG.CFG file out, Then RUN CCONFIG.EXE
     Using the printed screen, enter the information in the CCONFIG
     program.  If you use TABS, CCONFIG.EXE will ask how you want TABS
     configured.  (run CCONFIG.EXE)

 6)  Start up Wildcat! and LOG-IN locally.   Enter the CatCharge!
     program.  Go into the Sysop Menu. Check/Change the following for
     every item you have listed for sale.

              Ŀ
               IMPORTANT! Check your SHIPPING PLAN or    
               EXTRA FEE Toggles for each sale item you  
               have in listed in CatCharge!              
              

     If you have NOT set up a Shipping Fee or StateTax/Extra fee
     then:
         Set up the Shipping Fee/State Tax fee if you plan to use
         state Tax, Shipping Plans, or the Extra fee.

         Remember! if you plan on using the Extra Fee or Shipping Plans,
         They must be configured by the Sysop menu above (A) and turned
         on as an option for EACH item listed in the CatCharge! program.
         You will have to EDIT each item that you wish these fees to be
         included on.   While you are editing the items, take the
         opportunity to edit the long description if you need too.

  ========================================================================
       wcBILL Support!  Please read!  Changes were made effecting the
       User's account Balance fields and the New Billing Credit Field.
       (for Catcharge! v4.11 only Coming out soon!!!)
  ========================================================================

  7)  (This is probably the longest step! because it is sets up the new
       features that were added!)

      Scanned Image Support.....  See the Documentation CATCHG.DOC
      to see how to included a scanned image of the item for sale.
      You must have a scanner and be familiar to convert it to .GIF format.


      If you want the ability for CatCharge! to adjust either the
      User's Billing Credits, the User's Account Balance, or the User's
      NetMail Balances, you must go into CatCharge!'s Sysop Menu
      and Edit each sale item that you want to have CatCharge! adjust as
      a user purchases these Items.  Edit Item numbers 13, 14 & 15
      to specify those changes.  When a user order's an item,
      CatCharge! will adjust those fields by the amount specifed
      for these options. NOTE! They are ADDED to the existing Number.
      (See CatCharge! Documentation for more details)

          Prior Versions adjusted the Account Balance
      with the user's total Purchase amount.  This is NOT the case any
      longer. You have to specify what amount/credit will go in that
      field for a particular item.  If the user picks more than one
      item by Tagging, the fields are totaled, then Added to the User
      record.  This was done for those that which to break down
      line item costs by sale area.

      wcBILLING.. See CATCHG.DOC for this section...
      This support was added for the new wcBILLING program from MSI
      and is the sole reason for the New CatCharge! v4.11 Upgrade.
      Check out this Fine Program from MSI by ordering your Copy Today.

      Scanned GIF Image Support......
      See CatChg.DOC for this support.

  8)  Test it!  Mark a few items, Purchase them, Check the SHIPPING PLAN
      as it is presented to the User (if you picked an item with it toggled
      on). Test the Extra fee,  Check the BANK.ORD, LOGs, CHG.  Etc.
      If you are using wcBILL, Try purchasing an item where it adjusts
      your Billing Credits, then test out the wcBILLING program to make
      sure it is properly adjusting the Account properly.  See the
      wcBILL documentation.

  9)  If everything works ok, delete your Test logs, Chg, ORDs etc and you
      are ready to roll.

  Any Comments... Please email to Maddog Productions BBS

              Ŀ
               IMPORTANT! If you EVER upgrade to MSIs    
               Wildcat! version 4.11 from v4.10 using    
               CatCharge! v4.10, you only need the .WCX's
               YOU WONT need to run UP40to41 any more!   
              


               -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

UPgrading from Versions LOWER than 4.0x  (v1.x/v2.x/3.x)

I strongly suggest that you PrintScreen your CATCHG.CFG file.
Save any of your .BBS Custom Display screens.  Delete the rest.
Then Re-Install CatCharge! as NEW. Sorry, but there have been
so Many changes made in V4 that I dont think it would be wise
to try to upgrade ya.     READ THE MANUAL THOROUGHLY to get
familiar with all it's new functions.


See the WHATSNEW.TXT file for information on whats New with CatCharge!
