How does one install a new version of MR/2 ICE over previous
"working" version without losing settings and information?
==========================================================
The MR/2 ICE distribution zip file has been carefully designed so as
NOT to overwrite your existing setup data when unzipping a new
version. The risk for data loss if very low. To protect yourself
from any unusaul circumstances, simply ZIP up the MR/2 ICE software
directory before unzipping the new version. In most cases, this
won't be necessary, but backups are always a good idea.
The distribution zip contains several files ending with an "org"
extension. These are the original versions of things like the SIG
file, the address book and templates. When MR/2 ICE starts up for
the first time, it tries to copy these files to their "real" names.
It will not overwrite existing files. So, if you've modified your
templates and address book, they will not be overwritten my
unzipping a new version of ICE.
The only exceptions to this rule are the printer template files
(printer.tf and draft.tf). Since I haven't really "officially"
documented these, I do not take precautions to save custom versions.
I'll make a note to consider this.
