- This file speaks only to those who have used earlier versions:
- ===================================================================
- I hope that you will enjoy this new version (4.0) of MY_AGENT.
-
- Note: all versions before 4.0 were called "Muses."
-
- The file RUNFIRST.BAT will unpack all files and put them on the right disks or
- on your hard disk in a directory it creates, called \my_agent. See HOW-TO.
- If you have never installed an earlier version, you do not need the
- information below. Move immediately to HOW-TO.
-
- If you have used an earlier version, you should copy to a separate directory
- your own data files (d3, d6, d7, d8, d9, para.mus, head, headpenn, tallies, and
- any *.let files) so that the new version will not overwrite them. Then, when
- you have extracted the new version, replace any data files with your own.
- (If you have been using a version below 3.0, you may have to accept the
- new PARA.MUS and then re-install it from INSTALL on the Utility Menu
- of My_Agent; or you may re-install it by running AGENT4 as a stand-alone
- program.)
-
- WARNING: You will need to run SZ.BAT on each of your own data files
- (on disk 2) to strip any ^Z (control Z) markers that early versions
- before 3.6 routinely added to ends of files. Otherwise, the new version will
- not work properly. This takes only a few seconds. Copy SZ.BAT to your data
- disk (#3). Then enter
-
- SZ ?
-
- For ?, substitute the name of each data file (that is, the single letter files
- for publishers on hold; and the D? files for circulation data; and any
- bibliographical data files you have created with the B option from the main
- menu.)
-
- Store these new originals in a safe place.
-
- ======================================================================
-
- Several users have helped me to provide this new version. I welcome
- all suggestions.
