- How to upgrade from RAPLink 1.00 to TOPLink 2.00g1
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- The upgrade procedure is fairly straightforward, but there are a few
- mandatory steps you need to go through.
-
- 1) Unpack TOPLink. You can unpack it to a new directory, or to your
- RAPLink directory. If you unpack it to a new directory, be sure to copy the
- DONTSHOW.TXT file from RAPLink to this directory after unpacking.
-
- 2) Run TOPLINK /CONFIG and configure TOPLink. You will have to reconfigure
- ALL of the parameters, because both RAPLink and TOPLink store configuration
- information in the executable (.EXE) file itself, and this information
- unfortunately cannot be transfered between programs.
-
- 3) TOPLink has some new settings. The names and short descriptions
- provided by TOPLink should be self-explanatory, but if you need additional
- information then consult TOPLINK.DOC.
-
- 4) Finally, if you use a batch file to run TOP, modify it to call
- TOPLINK.EXE instead of RAPLINK.EXE. With TOPLink, you _MUST_ specify a node
- number on the command line! This is different from RAPLink, with which a node
- number was optional.
-
- Be sure to skim over TOPLINK.DOC and HISTORY.DOC for other new information!
