- This file performs a patch upgrade of Qmodem v5.0 to v5.01. Follow the
- instructions in this readme file exactly to upgrade your registered
- version of Qmodem 5.0 to Qmodem 5.01.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Application of this patch to a licensed Qmodem v5.0 will actually change
- the code to make it identical to the new version 5.01. It does absolutely
- nothing without being applied to a registered, commercial Qmodem v5.0.
-
-
- It will ONLY operate on a registered commercial copy of QMODEM 5.0,
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- and is not a complete program. It is ONLY a patch which performs
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- the update to version 5.01. It will NOT work on Test-Drive releases.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
- It may only be used by paid licensees of QMODEM 5.0 who purchased
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- it directly from MSI or through a commercial store.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- USE OF THIS PROGRAM BY OTHER THAN REGISTERED USERS OF QMODEM 5.0 IS
- A VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
-
- Qmodem v5.01 is available from Mustang Software, Inc. at 1-800-999-9619
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- QMODEM v5.01 is a minor update which adds a number of features and fixes
- several minor problems with the original release. Complete details of the
- changes follow the update instructions.
-
- The update program consists of two parts, the executable patch
- program (PATCH.EXE) and the patch data file (PATCH.RPT). The patch
- data file contains all the information needed to make changes in
- the old executable files and to track the application of patches,
- even after multiple updates have been performed.
-
- To perform the update follow these simple instructions:
-
- 1. Copy the patch file to your Qmodem directory.
-
- 2. Extract the patch files and new emulation files from the self-
- extracting archive by typing QM5PTCH.
- ^^^^^^^
- Note: If you have customized your emulation .KEY files
- you should make backups prior to performing this step,
- or refrain from overwriting your old .KEY files. If
- you have not customized your emulation .KEY files,
- overwrite them when prompted.
-
- 3. Before beginning the patch process, make certain that all QMODEM
- executable files are present including QMODEM.EXE, QMODEM.OVR,
- QSM.EXE and QMEDIT.EXE. If any of these files are missing the patch
- program will not run.
-
- 4. From the QMODEM 5.0 directory and type PATCH and press <ENTER>.
- ^^^^^
- 5. A successful patch process results in the following screen
- indicating that three files were patched:

- NEW FEATURES.CHANGES
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The changes to Qmodem v5.01 include:
-
- - The ANSI Music feature was added as the key Alt-4.
-
- - The Alt-2 key is now used to toggle between 25 line mode and 43/50 line
- mode.
-
- - Terminal emulations for VT52, IBM3101 and Heath were added, including
- new .KEY files.
-
- - The Shell function takes much less space when swapping to disk or EMS.
- This change results in much faster Alt-R, Alt-M and editor usage.
-
- - Memory usage was optimized and offers better compatibility in DESQview
- and Windows environments.
-
- - The opening screen now carries an indication that the program is a
- commercial product and is not to be distributed. This screen has a
