             This BBS  software is  beta testing ONLY.  You may  use it  and
        distribute  it, at  your  own  risk!  This  software  comes with  NO
        guarantees  whatsoever. It is up to YOU to keep  your system running
        the  latest  version. If you fall  behind in updates, you may end up
        getting  stuck  without a  conversion to  the  next  upgrade! If you
        cannot accept this, do  not like the idea of beta testing, or cannot
        deal  with bugs  of whatever  size, please  do NOT run this software
        until it is officially released to the public.

                                   OPERATION
         _________________________________________________________________


             In order for INSTALL to work properly, please be sure to run it
        from the same directory the RG*.* files are located. In other words,
        all the  files listed  below should be in  the  SAME  directory, and
        INSTALL should be called from within that directory.


             The files contained in this archive are:


        INSTALL.EXE             - This is the Renegade Setup program, run it!
        RGDATA.DAT              - some extra files for the DATA directory
        RGMAIN.DAT              - actual Renegade.exe and Renegade.ovr files
        RGMENU.DAT              - menu files for MENU directory
        RGMISC.DAT              - ansi and text files for MISC directory
        README.NOW              - This file


        Example:

                C:\TEST > Renegade.exe
                C:\TEST > dir

        Directory of C:\TEST

        .            <DIR>     11-29-92  12:00a
        ..           <DIR>     11-29-92  12:00a
        RGMISC   DAT     20937 11-29-92  12:00a   <-- Miscellaneous Files
        RGMENU   DAT     13653 11-29-92  12:00a   <-- Menu Files
        RGDATA   DAT      3835 11-29-92  12:00a   <-- Data Files
        RGMAIN   DAT    323253 11-29-92  12:00a   <-- RENEGADE.EXE & .OVR
        README   NOW      3336 11-29-92  12:00a   <-- This File
        INSTALL  EXE     11974 11-29-92  12:00a   <-- The Setup Program!
                8 file(s)     431107 bytes
                           229375744 bytes free

        C:\TEST > install



             Don't  worry  about what  directory you  unzip the  files into,
        Install will prompt  you for  your home  BBS  directory, then create
        and/or  move  all  necessary  files  into  THAT  directory.  After a
        succesful installation, you can  delete  the above files out of that
        temporary directory.


    If you have any problems getting Renegade setup properly, please contact:
