very easy for you as a system operator.

     After you have installed the program to your hard drive, you now
need to install it to your menus using configuration option 2 at the
Major BBS main menu.  All the neccesary steps for installing programs
are discribed in Chapter 4 (MENU TREE DESIGN) of your Major BBS
System Operators manual.


                           CNF CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS
=============================================================================
      There are many configuration variables for Oltima 2000.  In
configuration level 3, you will find the variable:

ACTCOD

If you bought Oltima outright, you need to make sure the correct
activation code is in this area.  However, if you are leasing, your
activation codes are located in a data file and the program should
run for the set amount of months that you purchased the program.  If
you are leasing Oltima, you do not have to put anything here.

The following variables are located in configuration level 4:

YORCHA

This is the character that will represent your particular player
on your screen.  In the center of your map screen this character
will appear if you are on foot.

YORHOR

If your character happens to be on a horse, this is the character
that will show up in the center of your map screen.  This will
also show up in the area details to any other user who can see you.

WHTBAD

You can limit players to play at certain baud rates.  Any user
that is logged onto the system above the baud rate specified here
can not play the game.

SELPCT

When a user tries to sell an item back to the shops, this is the
percentage that that person will get back for the item.  There are
other variables that come into play, but this is the base percentage.
                         
WHTSEE

You can play oltima where users are automatically able to see
through the walls.  This will make the game very easy, and will
also make some spells such as XRAY obsolete.

BOTCOS

This is the amount of gold that you want to charge someone for
a boat.  They will not be able to purchase a boat in certain
areas if they do not have this amount of gold.

JALCOS

This is the amount of gold that you want to charge someone for
bailing another user out of Jail.  If they do not have this
amount of gold in their possesion, they will not be able to
buy a jail key.

The following variables are all time related variables
for the spells, each one of them is the amount of time
(in seconds) that you want that particular spell to last:

SPLLGT - LIGHT spell
SPLSLP - SLEEP spell
SPLGLT - GREATLIGHT spell
SPLMSL - MASSSLEEP spell
SPLUNS - UNSEEN spell
SPLXRY - XRAY spell
SPLINV - INVISIBLE spell
