Setup caveats for upgrading MajorMUD from Pre-WorldGroup 3.x-NT
to WorldGroup 3.x-NT

Prior to starting anything relating to this upgrade, make sure that you have a
full backup of your BBS.  Upgrading your MajorMUD to WorldGroup 3.0-NT may be
problematic as it is not possible for us to test all possible configurations.
The structure of all the database files has been changed and since MajorMUD is
very much data driven, any glitch could cause your mud to fail.  If possible,
please perform a trial-run upgrade on a test system which contains everything
which your main BBS has (this is actually strongly recommended as a good
procedural step in the upgrade to WG3.0-NT).
Again, please BACKUP ALL YOUR FILES before upgrading MajorMUD!

Although it *should* work if you have your MajorMUD data files in a different
directory than normal, we recommend that you move your files into your wgserv
(or bbsv6) directory and update your DATADIR CNF option for MajorMUD to be
blank before running setup.  If you choose to leave your data files elsewhere
then they will be moved into the wgserv directory during the upgrade for you.
Letting the setup do this automatically may run into problems in some network
situations, etc. and is not guaranteed to work all the time so please do the
move yourself before the upgrade.

Before upgrading your BBS to WorldGroup 3.0-NT, please run the MajorMUD
offline recovery program for your current version.  Do this immediately before
upgrading your baseline (in other words, don't restart the BBS with MajorMUD
enabled after doing the offline recovery and before upgrading MajorMUD).  This
is another step which, although not 100% required, is recommended as a
preferrable thing to do.


If you do not have a test system on which to do a trial upgrade then please
try and schedule your upgrade so that it will either be on a weekend or in the
evening (after 6pm PST).  If you perform the upgrade during the day and have
problems I will not be available to answer your questions until the evening.
If possible, please send problems via email to support@majormud.com before
calling.


If you are upgrading from a pre-3 system and accidentally install a new copy
of MajorMUD onto your WG3-NT system instead of merely upgrading your 
original BBS then there are a few more steps you will have to do when
you finally want to upgrade your real mud:

1) Delete all the wcc files from your WG3-NT system.  Do a dir /s WCC*.* from
   your WG3-NT top-level directory to make sure you've deleted them from all 
   the subdirectories.
2) Copy all your wcc files from your WG2 system into your WG3 directory.
3) Install MajorMUD for WG3-NT
4) Let it convert the files
5) Enter your new activation code
6) You're done.
