Readme for people upgrading from StarClass 2.0
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Dear StarClass user:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This update is being distributed as a series of patch files. YOU NEED
THE ORIGINAL FILES to apply the patches.
The contents of the Version 2.0 distribution files: SOURCE.EXE,
LIBS.EXE, INCLUDE.EXE, etc... are the baseline to which patches will
be applied. For this reason, it is *VITAL* that you have these files.
If you have modified any of the files, the PATCH will not work
properly.
You'll find RTPatch PATCH.EXE on the original distribution disk if you
don't already have a copy.

With version 2.01, we now have so many files that it was becoming too
complex for the developer (read: too much effort required) to keep it
all straight. To solve this, currently shipping versions use a new
directory structure. This structure will be required for future
updates (and will also make them easier for you!).
To simplify things, the proper subdirectory structure was created for
for you when you expanded the update distribution file SC201UPG.EXE.
What you'll need to do next is move the original distribution files to
their like-named directories and apply the patches.
eg (for SAMPLES):
* copy your original V2.00 SAMPLES.EXE to the
SAMPLES directory
* run
SAMPLES.EXE
...to uncompress the original files
* run
PATCH SAMPLES
...to patch the original files
You'll have to do this process for:
SOURCE
FUNCS
INCLUDE
SAMPLES
DOCS
Note: after patching the NG, you'll want to move it to the directory
where you keep your NGs.

Please read the instructions in the NG. As well as specifying the
CLASSYRT LIB file, you'll also need to include the object file
SCCSY1RT.OBJ (in the LIB directory) when you link. You'll also need one
of the V1.x versions of the StarClass libraries (ie: LIB1PTCH or
LIB3PTCH).
