This program unpacks the LANtastic(R) upgrade disk into a temporary
directory on your servers hard drive. When this is done the upgrade
program can then easily install the upgrade unto all computers on your
network.
This program also creates a log file that you can use to assure
that all computers on the network have been upgraded. The only input
required is the name of the temp directory (Normally C:\UPGRADE) and
the location of the LANtastic(R) upgrade disks.
To run this copy the file upgrade.exe to your hard drive and with the
lantastic upgrade disk #1 in your floppy drive run upgrade. After verifying
that the disk is in the floppy drive and confirming that you want to install
the upgrade into the temporary upgrade directory the program will unpack
the upgrade.
After the upgrade is installed on the servers hard drive, the upgrade
program can then install the upgrade into a computers network directory.
To install the upgrade a user at a workstation should log into the server,
NET USE the servers hard drive, change to the upgrade directory and run
upgrade. This program upgrades the LANtastic(R) Network on your local
harddrive.
The program upgrades only those programs currently on this computer.
This program requires that the operator confirm that the directory found
is indeed the correct network directory in use by the network on his work-
station. Once this has been confirmed, the program will copy over the new
network files and log the fact that the system has been upgraded to a log
on the UPGRADE server.
Upgrade can also be used from the command line. The syntax is
Upgrade source destination (/A /N). The /A switch tells the program to
copy ALL the files over not just the ones currently on the workstation. The
/N switch tells upgrade to only copy NEW files over to the workstation.
These switches can be combined, ie copy ALL NEW files to the workstation.
