Once you update an existing Projector database, it cannot be accessed with older versions of the MPW Shell. Be sure that everyone who needs to access the database has updated their MPW Shell before updating the database. •

PARAMETERS

project

The project database that you want to update. You can specify the project in project notation if the project is mounted (e.g. "Project1∫"), or as a folder (e.g. "Hard Drive:Project1:"). In the latter case UpdateProjectorDatabase will assume the file name is "ProjectorDB".

OPTIONS
