Platinum, v1.96!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note to Users of Platinum, v1.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you were one of the unfortunate people who tried using my initial version
of this program, I apologize. That work was rather shoddy, wasn't it! :-)
Unfortunately, I decided NOT to include an "UPGRADE" script for these users,
as this next version was completely rewritten and includes MANY new and
improved features. If you were using that initial version, please PURGE it
from your systems before continuing.
Note to Users of Platinum, v1.96
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If presently using a copy of my 1.95 version of Platinum, you can update to
the 1.96 version simply by copying all the COMMAND files(those files sitting
in the root "Platinum/" directory over those you are presently using). No
changes were made to the formats of the config files, so you needn't have to
re-run the included install script, however you SHOULD run the included
ARexx "Upgrade195" script, which will simply change the version numbers of
your config files to 1.96, so that they can be used with the newer command
files.
Steps On Installing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow these steps for "quick" installtion:
1. Copy the entire "Platinum/" directory to a place on your system you deem
appropriate for such a file.
Copy the included libraries to your LIBS: directory if you don't have
them already(then reboot your system, so they'll be recognized).
2. Inside the included "Platinum/" directory is a file "PL_INSTALL". This
should be the FIRST file you use. It's written in CNetARexx, and should
be used from WITHIN CNet Proper, so you'll need to either add it to one
of your lists, or else use a "RUN ARexx" command to execute it. (Note
that this file must ALSO be run LOCALLY, as it relies on REQUESTORS for
some of it's operations). Don't worry about the possibility of this file
be running remotely, though, as it will make SURE you are LOCAL before it
continues.
NOTE: If, for some reason, the install script halts prematurely, I have
included copies of the config files inside the "Platinum/Configs/"
directory. You can delete the partial copies created by the install
scrip
