-
- Upgrading From PMMail for OS/2
- ------------------------------
-
- If you are using PMMail for OS/2 and
- would like to upgrade to, or use PMMail for
- OS/2 in cooperation with, PMMail 98, please
- read the following. If PMMail for OS/2 is
- installed on an HPFS partition and you are
- using Windows 95 or 98, you will need to copy
- the PMMail for OS/2 data and program files to
- a FAT partition. If you are using Windows NT
- there are ways to access HPFS partitions. You
- can find more information about accessing HPFS
- drives under NT in our PMMail 98 FAQ, available
- on our web site at http://www.southsoft.com.
- Once you can access your PMMail for OS/2 data,
- simply install PMMail 98 to the same directory.
-
- NOTE: If you are running a version of PMMail for
- OS/2 earlier than version 1.95, you must install
- version 1.95 or higher under OS/2 and run it
- before running PMMail 98 from the OS/2
- installation directory. This is because older
- releases of PMMail for OS/2 had platform specific
- formats which are automatically converted by
- PMMail 1.95 or later, the first time PMMail 1.95
- is run.
