-
- Installing the Update
- ---------- --- ------
-
- 0. Make sure you’re using an unmodified, non-beta, non-demo copy of
- BBEdit 2.5. If necessary, make a new copy from your original
- distribution disk. If you have installed PopupFuncs, then you’ve
- modified your copy, so you’ll need to get a fresh copy of BBEdit
- before proceeding, and you’ll need to reinstall PopupFuncs after
- you’ve updated BBEdit.
-
- 1. Double-click on the “BBEdit 2.5.x->2.5.6 Updater” application.
-
- 2. A dialog will come up, asking you to designate the copy of BBEdit
- you’d like to update. Select your old copy of BBEdit, and click
- the “Update” button.
-
- 3. The updater will complete its operation automatically. When it’s
- done, it will delete the old version of BBEdit.
-
- 4. Drag the contents of the “Updated Extensions” folder into your
- BBEdit Extensions folder, if you have one. If you’re not using
- any extensions, you can skip this step.
-
- 5. If you use BBEdit with ToolServer, remove the old BBEdit tools
- and scripts from their places, and replace them with the updated
- versions (see your manual for instructions on how to install the
- ToolServer support materials).
-
- 5. Read the “2.5.6 Release Notes” for information on what’s new and
- improved in this maintenance version.
-
- If you have difficulty installing the update, or would like a floppy
- disk that contains this updater, contact us for information
- or assistance at one of the addresses below.
-
- Thanks for your continued support of BBEdit.
