- Introduction
- ------------
-
- This file provides information on how to update your copy of BBEdit 3.1
- to the current (3.1.1) maintenance release. This updater can only be used
- to update BBEdit 3.1.
-
- • NOTE: Since the updater application modifies your copy of BBEdit,
- you should not use it on your original BBEdit distribution disks.
-
- This updater is for use only by owners of the commercial release of
- BBEdit. It cannot be used to update a demo, beta, or freeware
- version of BBEdit, or a version of BBEdit older than 3.1.
-
- Packing List
- ------- ----
-
- This updater package includes:
-
- - “Update Instructions”: this document;
-
- - “3.1.1 Release Notes”: information on what’s new and
- improved in this version, as well as general information
- that wasn’t included in the manual.
-
- - “BBEdit 3.1 -> 3.1.1”: the application to update your copy of BBEdit.
-
- - “New Extensions”: a folder which contains additions to the
- set of standard extensions included in the shipping BBEdit
- package.
-
- - “BBEdit 3.1 Help”: an updated version of the file
- which contains the help balloons used in BBEdit.
- (If you’re running under System 6, you can ignore this
- file.)
-
- - “BBEdit Power 3.1”: an updated version of BBEdit’s native
- PowerPC code.
-
- Installing the Update
- ---------- --- ------
-
- 0. Make sure you’re using an unmodified, non-beta, non-demo copy of
- BBEdit 3.1. If necessary, make a new copy from your original
- distribution disk or CD.
-
- 1. Double-click on the “BBEdit 3.1->3.1.1” application.
-
- 2. A dialog will come up, asking you to designate the copy of BBEdit
- you’d like to update. Select your old copy of BBEdit, and click
- the “Update” button.
-
- 3. The updater will complete its operation automatically. The update will
- take a minute or so to apply, and near the end of the process,
- there will be a significant delay as the updater completes its
- work. This delay is normal, and there is no cause for alarm.
-
- When the updater has finished running, your old version of
- BBEdit will be named "Old BBEdit". Drag this file to the Trash,
- and empty the trash.
-
- After updating BBEdit and removing the old version, we recommend
- that you rebuild your desktop. If you do not, you may experience
- difficulty in dragging items to BBEdit’s icon (or to an alias to
- BBEdit). As an alternative, you can use “Save a BNDL” or a similar
- utility to update BBEdit’s entry in the desktop database.
-
- 4. Drag the contents of the “New Extensions” folder
- into your BBEdit Extensions folder, if you have one. If you’re
- not using any extensions, you can skip this step.
-
- 5. If you’re using a Power Macintosh, replace the “BBEdit Power 3.1”
- file with the updated version from this update package. (The
- BBEdit Power file should reside in the same folder as the BBEdit
- application.)
-
- 6. Read the “What’s New in BBEdit 3.1.1” file for information on
- what’s new and improved in this maintenance version.
-
- If you have difficulty installing the update, or would like a floppy
- disk that contains this updater, contact us for information
- or assistance at one of the addresses below.
-
- Thanks for your continued support of BBEdit.
