INSTRUCTIONS

Welcome to MichTron BBS 3.0. We thank you for your purchase. This file
contains information that could not be included in the manual or
features that have been added or changed from the time the manual was
printed.

The AUTOBAUD (page 23) feature has an extension that allows you to
specify which ring to answer on. This is enabled by follwing the word
autobaud with a comma and the number of rings to answer on. For
example AUTOBAUD,4 will answer the phone on the fourth ring.

ATARI ST Version:
On the ST disk there are three MCL example files.
You will need ARC to extract these files.

DCLICK.ARC:	This set of MCL files were designed by
		Micheal B. Vederman of Double Click Software. Durring
		the last month of finishing up the BBS, Mike and I
		added several commands that greatly enhanced the MCL
		language. These are the results of Mike's work. I
		think you will be impressed!

SARMCL.ARC:	This set of MCL files are deratives of Mike's work
		done by Josh Clot. A long time personal friend and
		beta tester.


VAN_NEST.ARC:	This set of MCL files are deratives of Mike's and
		Josh's work done by William Van Nest a long time
		beta tester of MichTron BBS.


IBM PC Version:
The Above example files and a GEM based maintenance program will be
avalable for download from the MichTron BBS at (313) 332-5452 or from
GEnie information system (see page 120 in the manual).
