Update Policy
-------------
Registered users of earlier versions of FLU_SHOT+ will receive an
invitation in the mail to register this version. Registered users
can update their copy of FLU_SHOT+ for a sizeable discount: keep an
eye on your mailbox for more details.
If you registered any earlier version of FLU_SHOT+ after August 1, 1990,
and before October 31, 1990, you'll be entitled to upgrade to Version 1.81
for only the four dollar shipping and handling charge. You'll receive
the special upgrade offer in the mail.
Updating Your Current Copy of FLU_SHOT+ From The Archive
--------------------------------------------------------
If you're already a registered user of FLU_SHOT+, updating to the current
version is very easy: since you have already de-arced or de-zipped the
archive containing FLU_SHOT+ (or you wouldn't be reading this!), copy the
FSP.COM file over to the same directory as your current copy of, using
the same name as you had for the earlier release. If you opted to use the
name of FLUSHOT.DAT in your C:\ directory, you're finished. If not,
you'll have to use the FLU_POKE program to insert the name and directory
location of your FLUSHOT.DAT protections file. If you named thge FSP.COM
program "NOVIRUS.COM" and named your FLUSHOT.DAT file as "RECIPES.DAT", and
both the program and datafile reside in a directory on your C: drive called
"MY_STUFF", the command line you'd use would be:
C> FLU_POKE C:\MY_STUFF\NOVIRUS.COM
You'll then be prompted for the full name of the already existing
FLUSHOT.DAT file, and you'd enter "C:\MY_STUFF\RECIPES.DAT" for the
above example.
That's it! You've updated!
Updating Your Current Copy of FLU_SHOT+ From The Install Program
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered users of FLU_SHOT+ receive an instrallation program that
makes their life a bit easier. If you're a registered user, you
should use the Version 1.81 version of the installation program, or
you might lose the FLUSHOT.DAT data you've already constructed.
If you want to use the earlier version of the install program, backup
the FLUSHOT.DAT file to a temporary name, install the new release of
FLU_SHOT+ using the installation program, then copy the FLUSHOT.DAT
file back to it's original location, using the original file name.
