What is needed to update
========================
. This archive file, and:
. An un-modified ExtenDOS distribution diskette, version 1.11, or
. An un-modified ExtenDOS distribution diskette, version 1.1, or
. An ExtenDOS distribution diskette, version 1.0, that has been
previously patched by PATCH001.TOS
How to update
=============
1. Make sure you have made a backup copy of the ExtenDOS distribution
diskette.
2. Copy the PATCH120.TOS file to the ExtenDOS distribution diskette.
3. Run PATCH120.TOS by double-clicking on it from the desktop. For
each of the modules CD.BOS, EXTENDOS.PRG, UNIDRIVE.DOS & UNI_BDDS.DOS,
the program will create a backup copy of the original module (with
a .BAK extension) and then patch the original copy. The final
message should be "All modules patched successfully". If not,
please read the error messages carefully; they should indicate
what the problem is.
4. Replace the following files on your distribution diskette with
the corresponding files from this archive:
READ.ME
TRACE.TTP
5. (Optional step) Copy CHECKIT.TOS and CHECKIT.CTL to your ExtenDOS
distribution diskette, and double-click on CHECKIT.TOS. It will
perform a simple checksum verification on each of the files you
updated/replaced in steps 3 & 4 above. If you get any messages
indicating that a module failed to verify, it's probable that
your newly-updated copy of ExtenDOS is invalid. Try obtaining
another copy of this archive and redoing the update. Alternatively,
you can order an updated copy from Anodyne Software: please see
below under "If you get an error message" for how to order.
6. Once you have finished updating your distribution diskette,
make a backup copy of this newer version.
** VERY IMPORTANT STEP, READ CAREFULLY **
7. To install this version on your system, you MUST replace the
following files in your system with the corresponding files from
the newly updated disk:
CD.BOS
EXTENDOS.PRG
TRACE.TTP
UNIDRIVE.DOS
UNI_BDDS.DOS
8. Please take the time to read the new READ.ME file carefully.
It contains information about all the new features of ExtenDOS
v1.20, particularly photoCD support.
If you get an error message
===========================
If you get an error message during the patch process and cannot
resolve the problem, you can mail us the diskette so that we can
update it.
To have your diskette updated by us, you need to:
1. Send in your original ExtenDOS distribution diskette.
2. Enclose a cheque for $5 + $2 shipping & handling ($7 total).
3. Enclose a note with your name, address, and daytime phone number.
In return you will receive a diskette containing ExtenDOS v1.20.
Changes for v1.20
=================
Please refer to the READ.ME file for a summary of changes in v1.20.
