This topic is organized into two sections, Win32 platforms (including Win95/98/NT/00) and Unix flavors (FreeBSD and Linux). Every instruction in this whole documentation for Linux version is applicable for FreeBSD version unless indicated otherwise. The main difference being that FreeBSD version does not have a conversion.exe module yet (soon it will).
Be sure to check out Trouble Shooting when you have problems getting POD to run.
Please remember: NEVER manually edit or delete your DB file after it's created! This may result in POD not functioning correctly or the early expiration of trial period because POD forbids hampering with the DB file. After you configured POD, POD will take care of any DB operations including creation and managing. You can always convert the DB file to whatever you want following instruction in Administration of POD . There should be no need to delete or manually edit POD DBs.
