- README for the GoldED 2.42.G1219 GAMMA Patch Release.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This archive contains patch updates (*.BDF files) which fixes bugs in
- GoldED and GoldNODE. The patches apply ONLY to the 2.42.G1218 version.
-
- To apply a GoldED patch, use the freeware BUPDATE utility which is
- included in this package.
-
- NOTE: The BUPDATE which is included here is a patched (by me) version
- 1.24a which is fixed for the bug in an OS/2 box where the EXE file
- time was not set correctly.
-
- Run BUPDATE <patch>.BDF to patch the matching *.EXE. The original is
- renamed to *.OLD.
-
- See the NEWS*.DOC and NOTE*.DOC files for information about the fixes,
- additions and changes in this release.
-
- Files in the patch archive (GPAT1219.ZIP):
-
- GOLDED.BDF Patch update for GoldED, DOS real mode.
- GED2.BDF Patch update for GoldED/2, OS/2 2.x.
- GEDP32.BDF Patch update for GoldED/P32, DOS protected mode.
- NEWS1219.DOC Brief news since 2.41.
- NOTE1219.DOC Technical notes since 2.41.
- READ1219.DOC The file you are reading now.
- BUPDATE.EXE BUpdate 1.24a. Patch update utility.
- 12181219.BAT Batchfile to create new full archives.
-
- You may re-assemble the orignal G1218 archives after applying the
- patches so form new full G1219 archives. If you want to do that,
- please follow this guideline:
-
- 1. Replace the .EXE files with the patched versions. Make sure the
- timestamps are correct, especially if running BUPDATE under OS/2.
- The time must be 02:42:00 and the date 93-12-19.
- 2. Replace the NEWS*.DOC and NOTE*.DOC files with the ones from the
- patch archives.
- 3. Add any new *.DOC files from the patch archives, such as this
- document.
- 4. Do NOT include the *.BDF files or BUPDATE.EXE.
- 5. Include all other files from the original G1218 archives,
- including orderforms, registration documents etc.
- 6. Archive the whole thing with filenames matching GE?G1219.*.
-
- The file 12181219.BAT is a DOS batchfile you could use to create the
- new archives, assuming that you have the original archives and the
- patch archive in the current directory.
-
- If you are unsure what this batch file does, THEN DON'T USE IT!!!
-
- Enjoy!
