UPDATE: Version 3.0x, IN-CONTROL [TM]
If you have a floppy based system, call me between 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. CST on
any weekday to complete this conversion.
Methodology for updating your version: [hard disks only]
if your version is version 2.645 or after
This update methodology assumes that you are updating from ANY earlier
version of IN-CONTROL [TM] that has the ability to AUTOMATICALLY back up
your data when you exit the program.
This update methodology assumes that you are updating from ANY earlier
version of IN-CONTROL [TM] that has the ability to AUTOMATICALLY back up
your data when you exit the program.
Make a backup of the data for IN-CONTROL [TM] by exiting your current
version of the program and selecting the backup function. Once out of the
program, enter 'BACKUP' from your hard drive to place today's current data
onto a data disk reserved for this purpose. Place a write-protect tab onto
that disk and, if space permits, create a second subdirectory: '\ACS'.
Then copy EVERYTHING from '\PROSPECT' to '\ACS'. Once done, delete every
file in '\PROSPECT' and then delete the directory entry itself with this
command:
RMDIR PROSPECT
Observe the files on your data disk, where the backup up data is kept.
Let's say the file containing today's backup is: '0520ACS.ARC' This means
that you performed the backup on month '05', day '20', or May 20th.
Take the new version of IN-CONTROL [TM] and install it onto your hard drive
as per the instructions in 'GO' and 'GO2' on the floppy masters. Once
installed, the program will ask you to restart the computer, and then
execute 'GO'. This 'GO' will then drive the program, PROSPECT.EXE.
Once you are in the program, observe that you are in the 'Test Data,' as
identified in the Main Program Menu. Upon seeing '== Test Data ==' on the
Main Program Menu, exit the program altogether and perform these two steps:
NEW1REAL <=========== you type this, follow by 'Enter'
ARCE A:0520ACS.ARC /R <======== you type this, followed by 'Enter'
[you adjust the '0520' portion for the
actual date: '05' is May, '20' is 20th day]
This will take all of your data from the most recent backup and restore it
to your hard drive.
Execute 'GO' from your subdirectory. The program will again lead you
through the installation process. The 'NEW1REAL' command you entered
earlier has forced the program to reinstall. Once you go through the
installation menus again, the program will ask you to reboot or restart the
system. At this point, ignore that restart message and invoke 'GO' from
the subdirectory. You should be greeted as a Registered User. If not,
repeat this entire process ONCE. If you are still not greeted as
Registered, then call me.
Retain the subdirectory '\ACS' for a few days until you are certain that
the upgrade in '\PROSPECT' was successful. Once you are satisfied of that,
delete everything in '\ACS'.
Methodology for updating your version: [hard disks only]
if your version is prior to version 2.645
Copy all files ending in the letters 'DBF' and 'DBT', if any, to a floppy
disk on drive A. Place a write protect tab on that disk. This is now your
'Backup' disk. If you have a subdirectory called '\PROSPECT', delete
everything in that directory and then the directory itself with this
command:
RMDIR PROSPECT
Take the new version of IN-CONTROL [TM] and install it onto your hard drive
as per the instructions in 'GO' and 'GO2'. Once installed but BEFORE you
execute 'PROSPECT', replace the 'GO2' disk in drive A with the data backup
disk. Then, from your hard drive, '\PROSPECT', enter this command:
COPY A:*.DBF
COPY A:*.DBT [if any]
This will take all of your data from the most recent backup and restore it
to your hard drive. As a final step, delete all files ending in 'NTX', if
any, with this command:
DEL *.NTX
Then execute 'GO' from your subdirectory and, after the initial
installation process, you should be greeted as a Registered User. If not,
repeat this entire process ONCE. If you are still not greeted as
Registered, then call me.
