- Upgrading FileBUDDY From Previous Versions
- ==========================================
-
- If you are presently using FileBUDDY, please make sure to upgrade
- FileBUDDY with the installation program (ie. INSTALL.EXE) since your
- existing FBUDDY.INI file may need to be modified.
-
- If for some reason you do not want to use the installation program,
- make the following manual changes to your FBUDDY.INI file:
-
- Upgrading From v1.00-v1.01 To v2.00-2.02
- ----------------------------------------
-
- >> Please add the following changes:
-
- 1. Insert "TabSpaces=8" after "MouseLBSS". (This parameter does
- not need to be added if a default of 8 spaces for the TAB
- character is satisfactory.)
-
- 2. Insert "ExitOnEsc=1" after "TabSpaces=8".
-
- 3. Insert "ArcDefault=" after "Editor"
-
- 4. Insert "SlideShowPause=10" after "VRam1024".
-
- 5. Insert "ImageRestore=0" after "SlideShowPause"
-
- 6. Insert "ImageCsrRes=100" after "ImageRestore".
-
- 7. Increment whatever the value of "ImagePrtMode" is by ONE.
-
- 8. Delete parameter "ImageOrient".
-
-
- Upgrading From v2.00-v2.02 To v3.00-v3.01
- -----------------------------------------
-
- >> After the "[INITIALIZATION]" parameters, add the following
- three lines:
-
- [DEFINE]
- OtherArcExt=
- FileEOLChar=
-
- Note: The "ArcDefault" parameter located under [PATHS] has been
- renamed to "OtherArcExt". Place the renamed version under
- the [DEFINE] heading. If "ArcDefault" has any assignments,
- they should be modified from this format:
-
- ArcDefault=LZH:QWK,BAK,DIF
-
- to the following format:
-
- OtherArcExt=LZH:QWK,LZH:BAK,LZH:DIF
-
- >> After the "[PATHS]" parameters, add the following seven lines:
-
- [ARCHIVE]
- Compression=1
- SFXModel=2
- MoveFiles=0
-
- [DBF]
- DBFPackBackup=1
-
- >> If you are using PKZIP as one of your archivers, please change
- the archiver name from PKUNZIP.EXE to PKZIP.EXE in your ZIP
- parameter assignment.
-
-
- Upgrading from v3.00-v3.01 to v3.02
- -----------------------------------
-
- >> Delete the "MoveFiles" parameter from your FBUDDY.INI file. The
- parameter is no longer needed as you are now prompted for this
- before archiving files.
-
-
- Upgrading from v3.02 to v3.03
- -----------------------------
-
- >> No changes to the FBUDDY.INI file.
-
-
- Upgrading from v3.03 to v3.10
- -----------------------------
-
- >> Under [INITIALIZATION] add the following line:
-
- Version=3.10
-
- >> Under [SWAP] add the following line:
-
- SwapWhenImage=1
-
- This is now needed to make more room in conventional memory for
- FBUDDYI.EXE to run.
-
- >> Under [ARCHIVE] add the following line:
-
- ResetArchivePW=YES
-
- >> Under [IMAGE] do the following:
-
- 1.) Delete the 'VRam1024' parameter.
- 2.) Add the line 'Image1BitFormat=2'.
- 3.) Add the line 'ImagePrinter=#' where # is:
-
- 0 = HP LaserJet (or compatible)
- 1 = Epson 24-pin dot-matrix (or compatible)
- 2 = HP DeskJet 500c (or compatible)
-
- 4.) Subtract 1 from your 'ImagePrtMode' value.
- 5.) Change 'ImageSize' value to 7500.
- 6.) Change 'ImageColumn' to 400
- 7.) Change 'ImageRow' to 0.
-
- Feel free to change 5, 6, 7 to whatever you want as per
- the documentation.
-
- >> Please note that you can now use "TRUE" or "YES" for "1"
- or "FALSE" or "NO" for "0".
-
- >> For those interested in running FileBUDDY under Windows, I've
- included a PIF file (FBUDDY.PIF) and icon (FBUDDY.ICO). They
- can be installed from the Windows Program Manager as follows:
-
- 1. Press ALT+N and select "Program Item".
- 2. Enter "FileBUDDY" for the description. (ALT+D)
- 3. Press ALT+C and enter "FBUDDY.PIF" and its path.
- 3. Now press ALT+I and enter "FBUDDY.ICO" and its path.
- 4. Select OK.
- 5. Select OK one more time.
-
- That's it. If you run into any problems, please let me know.
-
-
- Note
- ----
-
- >> Although it may appear that the order and case of FBUDDY.INI's
- parameters are important, they are NOT. However, don't delete
- the headers (ie. "[ARCHIVE]") if you plan to upgrade to future
- versions of FileBUDDY using the installation program.
-
-
- Happy viewing!
