------------------ New Stuff in 2.0 -----------------------

Changes in this version:

	- Simplified graphical interface
	- Multiple security options
	- Configurable server port



------------------ How It Works ---------------------------

To start up the server with no security:

Basically all you need to do is run UOMapServer, then give out
your IP address and port number to the people you want on the server.
(These numbers should be displayed on UO Map Server's title bar)

You can configure the port number in the options screen (but you have
to restart the server for a port change to take effect).

All your users have to do is choose 'Connect To...' from the file menu of UO Map,
and enter your IP address and port number.  You can do the same to connect
to your own server, or you can enter 127.0.0.1 for the IP address (that is
the number for localhost; your computer).

Other security options:

There are three security options: None, Server password and User passwords
  None lets anyone log into your server, and doesn't ask them for a password.
  Server password uses a single password for the entire server.
  User passwords lets you give each user their own password.
You can change which setting is being used in the Server menu under Security.
This change will take effect immediately, but will only affect people that
log on after you make the change; users who are already on the server will
not be asked for a password or anything like that.

You can change these passwords in the options screen.  Changes to passwords
and user accounts will also take effect immediately, but only for users
logging on after you make the change.

You can kick someone off the server by right clicking on their name in the
user list and selecting 'Kick' from the popup menu.

WARNING: Don't use any of your other (important) passwords for UO Map Server
passwords, because they are not protected in any way, and will be sent over
the network without any encryption.



------------------ UO Map Server Commands -----------------


Here's a description of what all the menu commands do:

                    it out for yourself.

    Options...      Opens up the options window.
