- UPGRADING from WEATHER PROFESSIONAL V2.0 or later
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Unzip this package to a temporary, empty directory. To set up the
- empty directory, just enter, for instance, MD C:\WXTEMP.
- 2. Copy WEATHER.PLT from your old directory or your registered disk
- to the temporary directory.
- 3. ONLY IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM V2.1 OR LATER VERSIONS --
- if you prefer, you may copy your configuration to the new version.
- Just copy your old WEATHER.CFG from the old directory to the temporary
- directory.
- 4. If you would like to keep your customized weather station list,
- copy WEATHER.STN from the old directory to the temporary directory.
- 5. If you would like to keep your customized city listing, copy WEATHER.CTY
- from the old directory to the temporary directory.
- 6. Run WEATHER in the temporary directory to make sure everything runs
- properly.
- 7. If all looks OK, delete everything in your old directory and copy all
- contents of the temporary directory to the old directory. Then
- delete the temporary directory.

-
- REGISTERED RADARSCAN V1.0, V1.1 USERS ONLY
- ------------------------------------------
-
- This is a rather extensive update, since the philosophy and structure
- of the program has changed, along with the name.
-
- To update your program, make a new directory, preferably C:\WEATHER,
- and unzip this entire package into it. Then follow these instructions.
-
- 1. MANDATORY!!! Copy RADAR.PLT from your old directory, renaming it to
- WEATHER.PLT in the new one. You can use a command like:
- COPY C:\RADSCAN\RADAR.PLT C:\WEATHER\WEATHER.PLT
-
- 2. If you have customized your town and city list, copy RADAR.CTY from
- the old directory to WEATHER.CTY in the new one. Allow it to
- overwrite the old file.
-
- 3. I strongly recommend that you DO NOT rename/move RADAR.STN, though, as
- WEATHER.STN now contains an exhaustive list of national stations.
- If you do, however, you may affect the capability of your program to
- plot numerous upper-air and surface reports.
-
- 4. Your new program is WEATHER.EXE in the new directory. Read the
- enclosed WEATHER.DOC and type WEATHER by itself to run the program.
-
- 5. When you get a chance, delete RadarScan from your disk drive as you'll
- no longer need it.
-
- Changes RadarScan users might want to be aware of:
-
- * Your data file is no longer RADAR.TXT, but DATA.TXT.
- * There are no command line parameters anymore. However, if your data
- is not in DATA.TXT, specify it by adding it to the end of the WEATHER
- startup command (e.g. WEATHER 04JUL92.DAT).
- * You do not need to memorize the time for the weather data. Weather
- Pro will accurately figure it out for you.
- * All commands are now keystroke-driven. Once inside the program, you
- can plot or look at maps or change the configuration. See WEATHER.DOC
- for further details.
