Dear User,
When you upgrade from FileDoor 3.10Γ (or lower) to this version of
FileDoor (3.20 to 4.10), you have to do some things, because the names
of the various files and programs have been changed !
Previously, FileDoor was called 'FileDoor' or 'XFD'. Because of the
split between FileDoor-LITE and FileDoor-PRO, the new FileDoor (which
will be the LITE version) is now called FDL (FileDoor-LITE). Names of
support-files and some extensions have changed. Please follow the
instructions below:
- If you used environment variables for FileDoor (called FILEDOOR and
some XFDxxxxx), you must change them to FDL and FDLxxxxx;
- Your old FILEDOOR.CFG must be renamed to FDL.CFG;
- If you already had a key (only registered users and/or beta-testers)
you must rename it from FILEDOOR.KEY to FDL.KEY (the key will still
work);
- For version 4.01 it is mandatory that you compile the language files
again. You need the newly supplied language files, of which FDL.LAN
is the replacement of FILEDOOR.LAN. All language files have new
records inside, so you can't use any PRE-3.20 versions anymore;
- Compile all your language files. The extension will now be *.FLL and
not *.XFL as it was for 3.10 and previous versions. The language
compiler is now called FLL.EXE (Filedoor Lite Language compiler);
- Delete all *.XFL (old compiled language) files from your hard-disk;
- Change all batch-files AND menus that call the following programs:
- FileDoor.EXE change into FDL.EXE
- File_OVR.EXE change into FDLOVR.EXE
- FileLang.EXE change into FLL.EXE
- FileUser.EXE change into FLU.EXE
- FileMain.EXE change into FLM.EXE
- FD_UPD.EXE change into FDLUPD.EXE
Also change the RA/SBBS menus for language support. They use the file
FILEDOOR.xxx (FILEDOOR.RAT and FILEDOOR.SBE). They are now called
FDL.RAT and FDL.SBE.
If you find it to much work, you can also rename the programs to the
old names. Please observe the documentation about overlay-files in
FDLDOCEN.DOC;
- The files created by f.i. MTA <tm> will still use the FILEDOOR.ext
format (ext being XS1, XS2 or XS3). The same goes for the file that
can be used by FD_UPD.EXE (now called FDLUPD.EXE) which is has the
name FILEDOOR.UPD;
In general, all FILEDOOR references are changed into FDL and also all
references to XFD are changed into FDL !
Thanks,
Robert W. van Hoeven
