- Upgrade notes for AMU v3.10
- ----------------------------
-
- If you are reading this, the installation program has already installed
- a copy of AMU v3.10 on your hard disk. PLEASE, read and follow the upgrade
- instructions exactly as listed below and you will save yourself a lot of time
- and trouble.
-
- ********************************* NOTICE ************************************
- * If you are currently a registered user of AMU, you need to obtain a new *
- * keyfile. Your 2.01 keyfile will not work with 3.xx, it was necessary *
- * to change the encryption due to security problems. To obtain the new key *
- * decompress the file REGISTER.ZIP and follow the instructions in the *
- * UPGRADE.FRM file. Your key will be processed ASAP and will only cost the *
- * price of a postage stamp or a 1 minute LD phone call. If you already *
- * received a key for 3.xx, you do NOT need another key. *
- *****************************************************************************

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you are upgrading from AMU 3.01:
-
- 1) Make a backup of, at least, all the files in your AMU directory, and
- preferably a backup of your entire system. It is always prudent to
- make a backup before installing a new piece of software.
-
- 2) Run AMUCFG -UPGRADE (AMUCFG2 -UPGRADE for the OS/2 version) to convert
- your current configuration to the new format.
-
- 3) Read WHATSNEW.310 for information about what has changed since 3.01.
- The biggest change which requires you to make adjustments is in the
- area of the Bulletin configuration. You will need to enter the
- names of template files for each bulletin so AMU will know how to
- create each bulletin. Samples are provided in SAMPLE.ZIP, they are
- the *.TPL files and their filenames will tell you which .TPL goes
- with which type of bulletin.
-
- If you have any questions feel free to contact me via netmail at
- 1:261/1108.0, via the Internet at davidh@smart.net, or via echomail
- in the AMU_HELP echo.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you are upgrading from any other version of AMU or RAMAN:
-
- You will need to either obtain a previous version of AMU and run it's
- conversion utility, or install AMU from scratch. Sorry, but this
- version can only upgrade an AMU 3.01 configuration.
