Patching CrossMAC

These patches will only patch your CrossMAC product disk to 1.05 if it is one of the following releases:

1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04

You can identify which release you have by displaying the second line in the "READ.ME" file on your product disk.

The following steps should be used to patch successfully:

1. Make a "diskcopy" of the original CrossMAC product disk. Use the copy of CrossMAC for patching ONLY.
2. Make sure the copy of CrossMAC is named "CrossMAC". Rename the disk if necessary. (ie. remove "copy of " or "copy_of_" from the name)
3. From Workbench, double-click on the "Patcher" icon.
4. Answer the few questions presented. Go get a cup of [.......... insert your favorite drink here .......].
5. If you wish to use the updated programs from the product disk, you may need to reboot your Amiga to flush the old programs from the system. If you previously installed our product, reinstall it again and reboot the system. DO NOT reconfigure any CrossMAC hard drives. They should work without change.
