- New installations
- =================
- To install Angband, simply copy !Angband onto a hard or floppy disc.
- It is not advisable to run it directly from the archive.
-
- You may need to use SysMerge to update your System folder before
- running Angband for the first time - see SysMerge's Help file for more
- info.
-
- If you are installing Angband in a read-only area, you may want to alter
- the values of the Angband$Path and Angband$ChoicesFile system variables
- in Angband's !Run file.
-
- For general (platform-independent) information on Angband, read the README
- file in this directory. For information on RISC OS Angband, see Angband's
- Help file.
-
- For information on how to recompile Angband, look in the Compiling
- directory.

- Upgrading from Angband 2.7.8
- ============================
- If you already have a copy of Angband 2.7.8, you should follow the
- following steps:
-
- 1) Move your existing Angband application to a safe place.
-
- 2) Copy this Angband application onto a hard or floppy disc.
-
- 3) If you want to keep your savefiles (as you probably do!) you
- should copy them from lib.save in your old Angband to somewhere
- alongside your new Angband, then set their type to 118. Note that
- once loaded into Angband 2.7.9, they will no longer be usable
- with Angband 2.7.8. Keep a backup, just in case.
-
- 4) You may want to move files from your old lib directory into your
- new directory. In particular:
- the contents of the bone directory (data for ghosts)
- any extra help files you have installed in the help directory
- the "scores/raw" file from the data directory (your hiscores)
- [but note that this should now be stored in the lib.apex
- directory]
-
- 5) Any existing macro definitions you have in your pref-acn directory
- will not work, as keycodes have changed. See the Help file for more
- info.
-
- 6) Use SysMerge to update your System folder (this release uses more
- modules than previous releases).
-
- Reset your machine. You can now start Angband by double-clicking on
- a savefile.
