Before upgrading from ANY version of TVD:
You should make a backup copy of the following
files from your TVD directory:
TCBVVER
TCBVTIME
TCBVAL
TCBVNAL
TCBVAREA (if it exists)
TVD config file(s)
Upgrading from v1.19, v1.20, v1.21 or v1.22
-------------------------------------------
Upgrading to v1.23 from v1.19, v1.20, v1.21 or v1.22 should be done as follows:
The two files TCBVD123.EXE and SETUP23.EXE are drop in replacements for
TCBVD119.EXE, TCBVD120.EXE, TCBVD121.EXE, TCBVD122.EXE, SETUP19.EXE,
SETUP20.EXE, SETUP21.EXE and SETUP22.EXE.
Place only those two .EXE files in your TVD directory and make the
appropriate changes to the batch file(s) that load TVD. Copy the .SPA
files to your TVD directory if Spanish is available as a language choice
on your BBS.
Since you will also need to update your config file(s), run SETUP23
option #2 on your TVD config file(s) then save the changes to update
your config file.
NOTE! Be sure to place a command in PCBoard's modem init string to
re-enable error correction if your modem has this feature!
Doing this will allow PCBoard to reset your modem when your
board recycles.
You also have the option of updating your TCBVTIME file to allow TVD
to dial long distance at different times on the weekend (Saturday and
Sunday) than during the week. TVD will work with either the old or the
new TCBVTIME file format. (See docs about the new format)
Upgrading from v1.17 and v1.18:
------------------------------
UPGRADING to v1.23 from version 1.18 or 1.17 is a snap!
De-archive only the following files to your verify door directory:
TCBVD123.EXE
SETUP23.EXE
WELCOME
WELCOME.SPA
WELCOMEG
WELCOMEG.SPA
Also de-archive the new TCBVTEXT
if you are upgrading from v1.17.
Then run option #2 of the setup program and change your batch file(s) that
load the door. Running option #2 will automatically update your config
file(s) by setting lines 1 and 2 to new default entries and by adding
two additional lines to the bottom of the config file.
That's it!
>>Change the batch file that loads the door to reflect the TCBVD123.EXE file.
You should also copy the following updated files to your TVD directory
and delete/over-write the outdated ones:
TCBVD123.EXE
SETUP23.EXE
TCBVTEXT
WELCOME
WELCOME.SPA
WELCOMEG
WELCOMEG.SPA
No other reconfiguration is necessary.
All other users:
----------------
UPGRADING to v1.23 from version 1.15
Since there are quite a few registered users of TCBVD115 (and quite a few
unregistered I suspect), I have re-written the setup program to make both
new installations and upgrades much easier.
If you haven't already done so, please register your copy of TCBV.
The registered version prevents users from calling your system under
several different user names because once a user phone number has been
successfully verified, the registered version will NOT call that
number back again.
To upgrade to this version from version 1.15, first make a backup of
your current TCBV files that are in use!
Copy ONLY the following files to the directory where you are currently
running TCBV and delete the outdated ones:
SETUP23.EXE
TCBVD123.EXE
TCBVTEXT
WELCOME
WELCOME.SPA
WELCOMEG
WELCOMEG.SPA
NOTE: If your door has multiple config files, as should be the case if you
have it configured for multi-node, rename them (one at a time!) to
the default config file name of TCBV.CNF, then run the setup program as
described below for each of them. Don't forget to rename them back as
you finish updating each one.
Run the setup program and using option #1 which will make changes to
the first 9 lines in the config file. Save the changes.
Please check your new config file using option #2 to make sure all is well,
paying special attention to path and file names.
Be sure to change your door batch file(s) that load TVD to reflect the
new TCBVD123.EXE name. Also note that the pack utility has been updated.
