Updating from v3.5.1 to v3.5.2 is unnecessary since the update only provides cosmetic changes to show new ordering information due to the transfer to Arachnoware.
1. If you are updating to v3.5.2 from v3.4 or an earlier version, accomplish
items 2-13. If you are updating from 3.5 to 3.5.2, skip items 2-13 and
just do item #14.
2. Update to Hermes II v3.4. If you are running an older version of Hermes
you will have to run each updater from the current version to v3.4 and
then follow the instructions listed here. The following outlines the
sequence of updaters to use. They are all in the "Updaters" file that is
available on the tech support BBS
Hermes v2.2
Hermes II v1.0.1
Hermes II v3.0.2
Hermes II v3.1.1
Hermes II v3.2.1
Hermes II v3.3
Hermes II v3.4
Hermes II v3.5.2 uses the same serial number as v3.4, so you do not need a
new serial number once you have received your v3.4 serial number.
All externals that worked with v3.4 will also work with v3.5.2.
3. Make a backup copy of your "Strings" file; this is the only file from
your current BBS that is modified.
4. Run the v3.4 -> v3.5 updater application. Select the "Update All" option
and select your System Prefs file as indicated. You can run this updater
more than once and it will not cause a problem.
5. Run the v3.5 -> v3.5.1 updater application. Select the "Update All" option
and select your System Prefs file as indicated. You can run this updater
more than once and it will not cause a problem. This will modify just
2 Normal and 2 Alternate Strings.
6. Set the memory allocation for Hermes II v3.5.2. It will require about the
same amount of memory as previous versions of Hermes.
7. Launch Hermes II v3.5.2 and select your System Prefs file.
8. Open the Quoter Setup menu.
a. Check the "Use Quoter" box if you want to use the quoter.
b. Check the "Use Quote Header" if you want headers included.
b. Select the "Quote Header Option" desired.
d. Change the Normal and Alternate Quote Header Text if desired.
9. Open the Main Menu Prefs menu. You will need to modify the text for the
$, ], and [ commands. Here is the new default text for these commands.
$ - Search Messages
] - Forward 1 Forum
[ - Backward 1 Forum
10. Open the Transfer Menu Prefs menu. You will need to modify the text for
the ] and [ commands. Here is the new default text for these commands.
] - Forward 1 Area
[ - Backward 1 Area
11. The 3.4 -> 3.5 updater will create the new ANSI and text header files for
all forums, conferences, areas and directories. When new forums or areas are
created, header files for them are also created. Header files are created
for new directories and conferences when the first file is uploaded or the
first message is posted.
12. We have also included the following new menus that you may want to use:
Main Menu
ANSI Main Menu
Transfer Menu
ANSI Transfer Menu
Help
To copy a new menu into your BBS, double click on the new menu, select
all the text (Command A), and copy it (Command C). Open the corresponding
menu in the BBS, select all the text there (Command A), paste the new menu
into the BBS (Command V), and save the changes.
13. Read the "Docs Changes" text file. This has the updated portions of the
documentation and explains the new features.
14. Update from Hermes II v3.5 to v3.5.2.
This step is only for those updating from v3.5 to v3.5.2.
a. Backup your Strings file.
b. Run the v3.5 -> v3.5.2 updater application.
c. Set the memory allocation in Hermes II v3.5.2.
d. Launch Hermes II v3.5.2 and select your System Prefs file.
Hermes II v3.5.2 adds new options to the Message Searcher and fixes a couple
of minor problems. Other than these items, it is just like v3.5.
