***** BE AWARE OF PROBLEMS WHICH CAN WIPE YOUR MAILBOX DATA FILES! ****

Should you ever have a disk error, the alert box will remind you that
you must format your floppy disk, and that your data must be damaged. You
are offered a chance to RETRY, by hitting <Return> (Mouse is not enabled).
DO NOT HIT RETURN!!!! Turn off your ST, and reboot the system !!! Should
you return with the <Return> key to this prompt, there is a GOOD chance
that your mailbox disk will be scrambled!

Please be aware that floppy disks do not last forever, and that repeated
use of the same are of the diskette can literally wear it out! Replace
your diskette frequently!! Retire it, BEFORE it gets tired. Frequent back
ups of the mailbox files are advisable anyway! Use GM and GU on a daily
basis as a means of backing up your mail.dat and user.dat files. Users
with more than one disk drive, may have the mail.dat and user.dat files
on one drive, and the mail.bak and user.bak on another for easy backups!
Change the drive specifiers on the appropriate filenames in the config.mb
file for multi-drive operation!

Most users of the ST BBS will not have a backup type power system, but it
is certainly nice! The system recovers nicely from blackouts (complete loss
of power), but brownouts (partial loss of power) often occur without the
knowledge of the SYSOP, and though they leave the computer and mailbox
running, memory resident data has been altered and problems may ultimately
occur.
