 Searchlight BBS              August 1995               Version 4.5b
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrade Patch
-------------
This patch is only for systems running Searchlight 4.5a. If you run
version 4.5, you need the SL45245B.ZIP patch.

If you have Searchlight 4.5a:

(1) Copy the PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP files into the directory that
    contains your BBS.EXE and BBS.OVR files.
(2) Run PATCH.EXE.
(3) If the patch is successful, delete PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP.
(4) Copy the remaining files in this archive into the appropriate working
    directories. BE SURE TO COPY THE CONFIG.EXE AND CONFIG.OVR FILES OVER
    YOUR EXISTING VERSIONS OF THESE FILES. IF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS, YOU
    WILL HAVE AN OLD VERSION OF THE CONFIG PROGRAM AND FUTURE PATCHES TO
    SEARCHLIGHT WILL NOT WORK. To be sure you have installed the update
    correctly, run CONFIG and make sure you see "Version 4.5b" at the top
    of your screen.

Version 4.5b is a minor update that corrects two small bugs found in the
4.5a version after we released it.


Other Files
-----------
The archive containing your 4.5b patch contains several other files that
are either new to Searchlight 4.5b, or replace earlier versions.

SLPACK.DOC
SLPACK.EXE
This is an updated version of the SLPACK program, which is used to 
optimize and repair conferences. See the DOC file for more information.

REPAIR.DOC
REPAIR.EXE
This is a new program that performs the conference repair function as
a stand-alone DOS command line application. This is useful when you need
to repair a conference but don't want to optimize it. See the DOC file
for more information.
