Prudence and courtesy dictate that we ask you to back up your
system before installing and/or upgrading to ProBoard v2.15.
Although every effort has been made to provide you with software
that will install/upgrade easily, due to the many different number
of possible hardware and software combinations, it's virtually
impossible to guarantee that a problem won't occur. It's your
system, do what you like, but remember we did ask you to backup
first.

Unpack the distribution archive in a temporary directory or to a
diskette and run INSTALL.EXE. The installation utility will
detect if ProBoard is already installed and will ask you if you
want to update to the new version. That's all there is to it.
The update process will run automatically.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The following section is intented for people who don't want to
use the automatic installation program for upgrading to
ProBoard v2.15.

1) Remove the "read-only" attribute of your existing PROBOARD.EXE
by issuing the following DOS command:
ATTRIB -R PROBOARD.EXE
If your existing PROBOARD.EXE file was not marked "read-only"
to start with, remember that this is necessary for ProBoard
to run correctly since it's an "overlayed" .EXE file.
You should issue the above command even if you're not sure
about the present attribute of your current PROBOARD.EXE file.
──────────────
** Important **
───────────────
If you do not remove the "read-only" attribute from your
PROBOARD.EXE file, then you will not be able to copy the new
PROBOARD.EXE file to the directory you are running ProBoard
from, and the v2.15 upgrade will fail. Read the above, and be
sure you understand it before you proceed.
2) Copy all executables (*.EXE) from PB_215.ZIP over your old
executables
3) Set the read-only attribute of PROBOARD.EXE
ATTRIB +R PROBOARD.EXE
4) Copy all *.PEX files from PB_215.ZIP in your PEX directory
(overwriting the existing PEXes that came with the previous
version)
5) Copy all *.CPP, *.C, *.H, *.HPP, *.OBJ and *.LIB files from
PB_215.ZIP in your SDK directory
6) Copy all *.215, *.DOC and *.TXT files from PB_215.ZIP in your
documentation directory (or your system directory)
7) Copy all *.PBL files from PB_215.ZIP in your system directory
(overwriting the existing language files that came with
the previous version)
8) Copy DEFLANG.PB to your ProBoard system directory.
9) Run "CONVERT PB" in your ProBoard system directory.
