ROBOCOMM 3.1 - UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS 05/23/91
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A NOTE TO ROBOCOMM 3.0 USERS...
-------------------------------
If you have already installed Robocomm version 3.0, DO NOT extract all
of the files from ROBO31-A.ZIP and ROBO31-B.ZIP into your Robocomm
directory. There is a special upgrade file called ROBO31-U.ZIP that was
created specifically for users upgrading from version 3.0.
If you do not have access to ROBO31-U.ZIP, then you will need to extract
_only_ the following files into your existing Robocomm subdirectory:
ROBOCOMM.EXE
ROBOCOMM.OVL
NEWHELP.DBF
NEWHELP.DBT
ROBOCOMM.HST <--- This file contains information on changes and
fixes in Robocomm 3.1
Once you have placed these files in your Robocomm directory, just start
Robocomm to begin the automatic upgrade procedure.
----------------------------------------
ROBOCOMM 2.0 TO 3.1 UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------------------------
To upgrade your Robocomm 2.0 installation to version 3.1, simply unzip
both the ROBO31-A.ZIP and ROBO31-B.ZIP files into your existing Robocomm
subdirectory, overwriting all files when prompted by PKUNZIP. You will
not loose any data during the unzipping process. Then, start Robocomm.
A conversion process will begin and you will be given the option to
automatically change all of your defined file transfer protocols to
Robocomm's new internal Zmodem.
After the conversion process is completed, Robocomm will display the
ROBOCOMM.HST file to you. Browse through it and note the new features
available to you. If you have been using Robocomm 2.0's internal YMODEM
protocol, you should be aware that Robocomm's Ymodem is now compatible
with PCBoard's Ymodem Batch protocol, not the old Xmodem-1K -- You will
need to change your defined protocol on the BBS systems.
Also, Robocomm 2.0 RPD prompt files are not compatible with version
3.1. Robocomm 3.1 has a completely new set of RPD files, all of which
begin with "145&". You should step through your defined BBS systems and
import the new prompt sets where appropriate.
NO UPGRADE IS AVAILABLE FROM VERSIONS 1.0, 1.05 and 1.06. IF YOU ARE
RUNNNING ONE OF THESE OLDER VERSIONS, YOU SHOULD INSTALL A BRAND NEW
VERSION OF ROBOCOMM AND START FROM SCRATCH.
Have fun!
