Hi !
To upgrade to version 5.15c, you must first have a running copy of 5.15.
If you have an earlier version, you must upgrade to version 5.15 first,
before you continue.
Step 1:
-------
Make a backup-directory, for example \FBB\515BAK
Step 2:
-------
Copy the following files to the backup-directory:
From \FBB-directory (normally):
INIT.SRV
EPURMESS.INI
From \FBB\SYSTEM-directory (normally):
BALISEx.SYS
REJET.SYS
From \FBB\BIN-directory (normally):
EPURMESS.BIN
EPURMESS.COM
SERV.BIN
SERV.EXE
MAINTINF.BIN
MAINTINF.COM
EPURWP.BIN
EPURWP.COM
FBBIOS.COM
CLEANUP.COM
INSTAFBB.COM
From \FBB\SYSTEM\LANG-directory (normally):
All the *.TXT and *.HLP files
Step 3:
-------
Copy from the 5.15c distribution-disk the following files:
To \FBB-directory (normally):
INIT.SRV
EPURMESS.INI
To \FBB\BIN-directory (normally):
EPURMESS.BIN
SERV.BIN
MAKEPG.COM (you may already have this one, but that does not matter)
EPURWP.BIN
FBBIOS34.COM (Should be renamed to FBBIOS.COM after installation !)
CLEANUP.COM
MAINTINF.BIN
TST_USER.COM
CLR_USER.BIN
ISDAY.COM
UPDWP.COM
INSTAFBB.COM
To \FBB\SYSTEM\LANG-directory (normally):
All the *.TXT and *.HLP files on the diskette.
OBSERVE !!!! :
--------------
Go to \FBB\SYSTEM-directory (normally) and
Rename BALISEx.SYS files to BEACONx.SYS
Rename REJET.SYS file to REJECT.SYS
Go to \FBB\BIN and convert the BIN-files. This is done by writing
MAKEPG SERV GB (and press ENTER) for english SERV.EXE, or
MAKEPG SERV FR (and press ENTER) for french SERV.EXE.
MAKEPG EPURMESS GB (and press ENTER) for english EPURMESS.COM, or
MAKEPG EPURMESS FR (and press ENTER) for french EPURMESS.COM.
MAKEPG EPURWP GB (and press ENTER) for english EPURWP.COM, or
MAKEPG EPURWP FR (and press ENTER) for french EPURWP.COM.
MAKEPG MAINTINF GB (and press ENTER) for english MAINTINF.COM, or
MAKEPG MAINTINF FR (and press ENTER) for french MAINTINF.COM.
MAKEPG CLR_USER GB (and press ENTER) for english CLR_USER.COM, or
MAKEPG CLR_USER FR (and press ENTER) for french CLR_USER.COM.
Step 4:
-------
Modify files.
APPEL.BAT. You should include the 3 lines
CD \FBB\SYSTEM
CLR_USER
CD \FBB
in APPEL.BAT, so that CLR_USER will be run once a day. Do this by inserting
these 3 lines just before the :DIRECT -line.
This will ensure that all users will be allowed a new set of kilobytes to
download each day. Every time CLR_USER is run, all users are reset to 0 bytes
downloaded.
INIT.SRV. You should compare your old INIT.SRV with the new one, and
modify the new one with your callsign etc. This may be easier than to install
the new/modified lines in your old INIT.SRV.
Take special care to USE the new format of the R:line, as there has been some
changes in the software on this point. Please DO use the R:line in the
distributed INIT.SRV, do NOT use your "old" R:line.. !
Make also sure that the first line looks exactly like this: # FBB5.15c
After modification of INIT.SRV, you SHOULD check it by running INSTAFBB.
EPURMESS.INI. There are some new lines in EPURMESS.INI. You may prefer to
add those lines in your old EPURMESS.INI, and use that file. Or you may
make the changes in the new EPURMESS.INI. Whatever you do, make sure that
the EPURMESS.INI you will be using, is the one with the added new lines..
*.TXT and *.HLP
There are some changes in these files. ENGLISH (and possibly a few other
languages..) are supplied with this diskette. If you are using any other
languages, you should correct the language-files according to the
ENGLISH.TXT and ENGLISH.HLP. The changed lines have been carefully marked
in the English files.
Step 5:
-------
Modify WP.SYS-file to the new format:
Go to \FBB-directory. Run UPDWP.
This MUST be done, and it must ONLY be done ONCE ! So be careful....
Misc.
-----
ISDAY.COM is a useful utillity. Type ISDAY <ENTER> to get help for the
program.
Rename FBBIOS34.COM to FBBIOS.COM.
Read the file CHANGES.DOC for info about all changes in 5.15c from 5.15.
I wish you GOOD LUCK !
de Per, LA6CU.
