CONVERT.DOC Simple AR - v1.33
Conversion of earlier releases of Simple AR to v1.33:
In order to upgrade from an earlier version of Simple AR, you
will have to convert the COMPANY.DAT file to the current format. (If you
omit the conversion step and try to run with your existing COMPANY.DAT
file, the program will halt with the message "invalid record declaration.")
Included with this release is a conversion program. To install
the new version of the software and run the conversion program, please do
the following:
1. Back up your Simple AR directory (just in case).
2. Copy the contents of the release into the Simple AR directory.
(If the release is in the form of a zip file, you will have to unzip
it first.)
3. Log to the Simple AR directory and execute the conversion
program. Depending upon your system configuration, the steps to do this
will be similar to the following (assuming Simple AR is installed in
c:\ar):
c:
cd \ar
cfil
4. After the program starts, fill in the blanks as follows:
Source file: COMPANY
Label: COMPANY
On the second line of the screen, the words "records will be converted"
will appear, both the input file and the output file should appear as
COMPANY.DAT, and the rest of the screen will be filled in with field
names.
When the screen appears as described, press Ctrl-Enter (hold
down the Ctrl key and then press the Enter key.) It should just take
a second or two, and the conversion is done. You may now use the
new version of Simple AR just as you did before. (Be sure to visit
the Update Company window to enter the new settings.)
I hope you find the improvements of version 1.33 helpful.
Thanks for using Simple AR!
