- YAM 2.1 - Installation notes
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To minimize download time, YAM 2.1 is distributed in four different LhA
- archives which must be unpacked into the same directory before installation.
-
- YAM21.lha YAM 2.1 basic installation for 68020 processors or better,
- includes English manual
- YAM21cpu.lha Executables optimized for 68040 and 68060 processors
- YAM21loc.lha Foreign language support (catalogs and manuals)
- YAM21con.lha Additional graphics, ARexx scripts, etc.
-
- YAM 1.3.x users
- ---------------
- Before you start the installation script, it's strongly recommended that
- you create a backup of the old YAM directory including all folders and
- configuration files. Now you should install YAM 2.1 into your old YAM
- directory. YAM 2.1 will automatically convert configuration files from
- YAM 1.3.x into the new format.
