- When upgrading from earlier versions of Miami please observe
- the following things:
-
-
- Do NOT try to install Miami manually. You should use the enclosed
- installation scripts, or strange things may happen...
-
-
- Previous versions of Miami needed MUI 3.5 or higher. Miami 3.x
- needs MUI 3.8 (muimaster.library V18) or higher. This means if
- you are using MUI 3.7 or lower then you need to upgrade your
- MUI installation first.
-
- If you have already registered Miami 3.0 then there is NO additional
- upgrade necessary. Your existing keyfiles will work with Miami 3.2.
-
- If you have already registered Miami version 1 or 2, but not
- Miami 3.x, then you probably have keyfile versions 1 or 2.
- These older keyfiles will not work with Miami 3.x, i.e. Miami
- will fall back to unregistered mode after installation. After
- installing Miami 3.x now you can upgrade your keyfile, and Miami
- will automatically return to registered mode. Note that in Miami 3.x
- there are no separate programs for unregistered and registered
- users. The same program binary can be used by everyone.
-
- Conditions for upgrading from Miami V1/2 to Miami V3.
-
- - If you registered Miami after June 15th, 1997 then the
- upgrade to 3.x is free of charge for you.
-
- - If you registered Miami before June 15th, 1997 then you
- need to buy an upgrade code. Upgrade codes are available
- from some registration sites and directly from Nordic
- Global Inc. If you order directly from us then the upgrade
- fee is US$ 12.00. The fee other reg. sites charge varies.
-
-
- This version of Miami *absolutely needs* the "Miami:" assign.
- In earlier versions this assign was only recommended, but in
- 3.x it is required. The Installer script sets it automatically
- for you, if it does not already exist.
-
-
- If you used MUI functions to iconify the Miami window on startup
- then you need to disable these functions in MUI settings NOW,
- before installation. In MUI preferences, on the "System" page
- deselect all three checkmarks in the "Iconification" group.
- You will find similar functions in Miami on the GUI page
- that you should use instead.
-
- Miami now has its own settings for iconify, AppMenus, AppIcons
- etc., and the setting in MUI conflicts with that.
-
-
- With Miami 3.x you have the choice to use other user interface
- engines instead of MUI. Currently available are:
-
- - MUI: standard MUI look, using MUI >=3.8.
-
- - MUIMWB: MUI look, using MUI 3.8, but with additional images.
- Requires 8-color screens.
-
- - GTLayout: GadTools gadgets created with gtlayout.library.
- Requires gtlayout.library V40 or higher (included in the
- archive).
-
- - ClassAct: ClassAct look. New versions of ClassAct (those
- distributed as OS 3.5 or later) are VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
- with this user module.
