- Prudence and courtesy dictate that we ask you to back up your
- system before installing and/or upgrading to ProBoard v2.15.
-
- Although every effort has been made to provide you with software
- that will install/upgrade easily, due to the many different number
- of possible hardware and software combinations, it's virtually
- impossible to guarantee that a problem won't occur. It's your
- system, do what you like, but remember we did ask you to backup
- first.

- Unpack the distribution archive in a temporary directory or to a
- diskette and run INSTALL.EXE. The installation utility will
- detect if ProBoard is already installed and will ask you if you
- want to update to the new version. That's all there is to it.
- The update process will run automatically.

- The following section is intented for people who don't want to
- use the automatic installation program for upgrading to
- ProBoard v2.15.

-
- 1) Remove the "read-only" attribute of your existing PROBOARD.EXE
- by issuing the following DOS command:
-
- ATTRIB -R PROBOARD.EXE
-
- If your existing PROBOARD.EXE file was not marked "read-only"
- to start with, remember that this is necessary for ProBoard
- to run correctly since it's an "overlayed" .EXE file.
-
- You should issue the above command even if you're not sure
- about the present attribute of your current PROBOARD.EXE file.
-
- ──────────────
- ** Important **
- ───────────────
- If you do not remove the "read-only" attribute from your
- PROBOARD.EXE file, then you will not be able to copy the new
- PROBOARD.EXE file to the directory you are running ProBoard
- from, and the v2.15 upgrade will fail. Read the above, and be
- sure you understand it before you proceed.
-
- 2) Copy all executables (*.EXE) from PB_215.ZIP over your old
- executables
-
