- RemoteAccess Manager v2.10 - Upgrade Instructions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- To upgrade to RAMAN 2.10 from 2.10/GAMMA do the following:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1) Copy the new .EXE files over the old ones.

-
-
- To upgrade to RAMAN 2.10 from 2.00 or 2.01 do the following:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1) Run 200TO210.EXE to convert your existing configuration. You must pass
- the filename of the configuration file to convert as the first parameter.
- A resulting file with the extension of .NEW will be created, and your
- original file will remain intact.
-
- 2) Run RAMANCFG to initialize new fields and to reconfigure options that
- could not be converted. Take a few minutes to browse around to see
- what is new.
-
- 3) If you have an RAMAN.MSG file present from a previous version,
- delete it NOW.
-
-
- A note about the new RAMAN configuration system is in order. As RA now
- supports 65535 file areas, it is both impractical and a waste for RAMANCFG
- to store information about 65535 file areas in the configuration file,
- especially since there would be very few, if any, who would use that many
- file areas. To compensate, the configuration file is dynamically maintained
- in that information about only file areas defined *when RAMANCFG was last
- run* is stored. This saves memory, diskspace, and speed. It also will
- present a minor problem. If you add file areas in RACONFIG, you MUST run
- RAMANCFG afterwards so it can update the RAMAN configuration file with
- information about the presence of new file areas. If you do not run
- RAMANCFG after adding file areas, RAMAN will simply ignore any of the new
- file areas you have created. Conversly, if you remove areas from FILES.RA
- or have a utility that "packs" FILES.RA and you end up with fewer file
- areas, RAMANCFG will decrease the size of the configuration file accordingly.
