Upgrading FileBUDDY From Previous Versions
==========================================
If you are presently using FileBUDDY, please make sure to upgrade
FileBUDDY with the installation program (ie. INSTALL.EXE) since your
existing FBUDDY.INI file may need to be modified.
If for some reason you do not want to use the installation program,
make the following manual changes to your FBUDDY.INI file:
Upgrading from v3.11 to v3.12
-----------------------------
>> In the FBUDDY.INI file, change 'Version=3.11' to 'Version=3.12'.
Upgrading from v3.10 to v3.11
-----------------------------
>> In the FBUDDY.INI file, change 'Version=3.10' to 'Version=3.11'.
Upgrading from v3.03 to v3.10
-----------------------------
>> Under [INITIALIZATION] add the following line:
Version=3.10
>> Under [SWAP] add the following line:
SwapWhenImage=1
This is now needed to make more room in conventional memory for
FBUDDYI.EXE to run.
>> Under [ARCHIVE] add the following line:
ResetArchivePW=YES
>> Under [IMAGE] do the following:
1. Delete the 'VRam1024' parameter.
2. Add the line 'Image1BitFormat=2'.
3. Add the line 'ImagePrinter=#' where # is:
0 = HP LaserJet (or compatible)
1 = Epson 24-pin dot-matrix (or compatible)
2 = HP DeskJet 500c (or compatible)
4. Subtract 1 from your 'ImagePrtMode' value.
5. Change 'ImageSize' value to 7500.
6. Change 'ImageColumn' to 400
7. Change 'ImageRow' to 0.
Feel free to change 5, 6, 7 to whatever you want as per
the documentation.
>> Please note that you can now use "TRUE" or "YES" for "1"
or "FALSE" or "NO" for "0".
>> For those interested in running FileBUDDY under Windows, I've
included a PIF file (FBUDDY.PIF) and icon (FBUDDY.ICO). They
can be installed from the Windows Program Manager as follows:
1. Press ALT+N and select "Program Item".
2. Enter "FileBUDDY" for the description. (ALT+D)
3. Press ALT+C and enter "FBUDDY.PIF" and its path.
4. Now press ALT+I and enter "FBUDDY.ICO" and its path.
5. Select OK.
6. Select OK one more time.
Upgrading from v3.02 to v3.03
-----------------------------
>> No changes to the FBUDDY.INI file.
Upgrading from v3.00-v3.01 to v3.02
-----------------------------------
>> Delete the "MoveFiles" parameter from your FBUDDY.INI file. The
parameter is no longer needed as you are now prompted for this
before archiving files.
Upgrading From v2.00-v2.02 To v3.00-v3.01
-----------------------------------------
>> After the "[INITIALIZATION]" parameters, add the following
three lines:
[DEFINE]
OtherArcExt=
FileEOLChar=
Note: The "ArcDefault" parameter located under [PATHS] has been
renamed to "OtherArcExt". Place the renamed version under
the [DEFINE] heading. If "ArcDefault" has any assignments,
they should be modified from this format:
ArcDefault=LZH:QWK,BAK,DIF
to the following format:
OtherArcExt=LZH:QWK,LZH:BAK,LZH:DIF
>> After the "[PATHS]" parameters, add the following seven lines:
[ARCHIVE]
Compression=1
SFXModel=2
MoveFiles=0
[DBF]
DBFPackBackup=1
>> If you are using PKZIP as one of your archivers, please change
the archiver name from PKUNZIP.EXE to PKZIP.EXE in your ZIP
parameter assignment.
Upgrading From v1.00-v1.01 To v2.00-2.02
----------------------------------------
>> Please add the following changes:
1. Insert "TabSpaces=8" after "MouseLBSS". (This parameter does
not need to be added if a default of 8 spaces for the TAB
character is satisfactory.)
2. Insert "ExitOnEsc=1" after "TabSpaces=8".
3. Insert "ArcDefault=" after "Editor"
4. Insert "SlideShowPause=10" after "VRam1024".
5. Insert "ImageRestore=0" after "SlideShowPause"
6. Insert "ImageCsrRes=100" after "ImageRestore".
7. Increment whatever the value of "ImagePrtMode" is by ONE.
8. Delete parameter "ImageOrient".
That's it. If you run into any problems, please let me know.
Note
----
>> Although it may appear that the order and case of FBUDDY.INI's
parameters are important, they are NOT. However, don't delete
the headers (ie. "[ARCHIVE]") if you plan to upgrade to future
versions of FileBUDDY using the installation program.
Happy viewing!
