USER FILE CONVERTOR/UPGRADER
P R O G R A M D O C U M E N T A T I O N
NOTE: THIS DOCUMENTATION IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE EITHER
MAXBANK v2.0 or MUTT v1.00 INSTALLED.
NOTE: If you wish to start fresh just delete MAXBANK.USR and
MAXBANK.HDR - that is all, no INITialization required.
NOTE: UPGRADE.EXE WILL DO NOTHING WITHOUT PROMPTING YOU FIRST.
MAXBANK v2.0 -> MaxBank v2.8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Place the new MAXBANK.EXE over the old one.
2. Edit the .MEC file. (New parameter for HST users.) Compile.
(Better read the documentation about this file. Now calls a batch
file instead of EXE)
3. Place new .NUF over old one (optional).
4. Replace old .CFG with new one (new options - this step is
mandatory). Re-edit your configuration.
5. Run Upgrade.exe to convert your old .USR and .HDR files to new
MaxBank format (this format will be compatible to version 3.)
Note: Under several select system environments, Upgrade will not
work. Check that the conversion went properly by loading MaxBank
(once it has installed) and "L"isting Patrons. If you see garbage,
just delete BOTH MaxBank.Hdr and MaxBank.Usr and this will start you
with clean files.
6. This is all there is in the upgrade. Read documentation for new
features and added commands.
M.U.T.T. v1.00 -> MaxBank v2.8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well this was easy to write (the convertor I mean). Especially since
MUTT is such a primitive program. Anyways, if you are upgrading from
MUTT. Please read complete documentation. MaxBank is much more
advanced and contains other features. The steps that are below will
only tell you how to convert.
1. Run Upgrade.exe and select Mutt -> MaxBank conversion. It will
prompt you for file directories, etc.
2. READ MAXBANK DOCUMENTATION and follow Installation Procedures.
That only difference is after you follow the installation procedures,
you must copy MaxBank.HDR and MaxBank.USR into the same directory as
the EXE.
Please read DOCUMENTATION for further details.
