UPGRADING\r
---------\r
It is always a good idea to make a copy of your current FMS installation before\r
continuing. First shut down FMS, make a copy of the directory, and then\r
replace all files except the database with those from the new version. You may\r
-keep the same database unless otherwise noted.\r

INSTALLATION\r
------------\r
-Place the binary and any templates in a directory of your choice. Windows\r
-users may need to download the runtime DLLs available from the fms Freesite and\r
-place in the fms directory if they are not already installed on the system. On\r
-the first run, a database file will also be created in this directory. Make\r
-sure the user that runs FMS has read/write access to this directory.\r

startup type in the service properties.\r
\r
+If you are experiencing a problem with FMS that you can't solve, and you've\r
+already rebooted your machine, restarted FMS, and have reproduced the problem\r
+with a brand new database, follow these instructions. Set the logging option\r
+to trace and restart FMS. Create a post on the fms group with a descriptive\r
+subject and a body that contains the operating system you are using, along with\r
+a description of the problem, what you have tried already, if you are using a\r
+precompiled binary, the startup lines from the log file as well as the portion\r
+that corresponds to the problem you are experiencing, and any other information\r
+you have that pertains to the problem. Make sure to anonymize any IP addresses,\r
+host names, subnet masks, and keys from the log that you don't want people to\r
+know about.\r

POSTING MESSAGES\r
----------------\r
-You must set your newsreader to use UTF-8 when posting messages. Any non-text\r
-attachment to the message will be inserted as a regular file and the key added\r
-to the body of the message when received. Keep the attachments small, as the\r
-message can't be inserted until all attachments are inserted. Text attachments\r
-will be inlined with the message body. Cross posting is fine, but remember\r
-that each identity can set a limit to the number of boards each message may be\r
-cross posted to.\r
+You must set your newsreader to use UTF-8 when posting messages unless you have\r
