 Setup Procedure for Clans



*****  NOTE:  Real Names are required for Clans to work properly in InterBBS
*****	      Mode.  Set your BBS to create the Dropfiles for Clans using Real

4. Are you sure you are joining a league: YES

5. Run "CLANS /I" 

6. Your Clans .bat file will need to look something like this...
   C:
   CD CLANS
   CLANS /N%1  (/N%1 for multinode systems)

7. In your Mailer Inbound packets directory there should be a CL??????.???
   file. Please make a copy of this file to another directory in case you
   have any problems and need to start over.
   Ok, now when you enter the game through your BBS it will import the RESET
   packet automatically and you will be able to join the game.
