-
-
- * NOTE: If you are a registered user of ULP and have not already received a key
- file (e.g. you have the ancient 10-digit registration code), you will
- need a key file for this version. The preferred method is to call
- Central Core at 201-575-8991 using your registered name and use the
- KeyDoor key distribution door to upgrade your key (type KEYDOOR at the
- main menu). Alternately, send me a request via Internet to
- stacy.smith@thcave.bbs.no *with your public PGP key*. I will only
- email keys with PGP encryption!!!
-
-
- To upgrade your ULP system from a previous version, read the following brief
- instructions, in order, from the version you are running to the current
- version. If you have skipped a version that requires an UPDATE.EXE conversion
- utility, they are available on my BBS in the ULP Support conferences (2 and 3),
- as well as my support sites, listing the SUPPORT.DOC file.
-
- I strongly suggest you read through the HISTORY.DOC as well, which provides
- detailed information on the changes and bugs fixed over the course of ULP's
- development.
-
- In general, to install new versions, start by copying the new executables and
- documentation over your old files. For 1.x versions, take care to not
- overwrite your ULP configuration files with the samples!
-
-
- Version 2.13:
-
- No configuration file adjustments are required.
-
- Version 2.12:
-
- No configuration file adjustments are required. However, if you installed
- 2.11 before it was recalled, go into the "virus/file checkers" menu, pick
- one (any one) of your file checkers and press F10. This will reset
- defective data created when adjustments were made with ULPSM 2.11.
-
- Version 2.11:
-
- The new "run time" flags for the virus, GIF and JPEG checkers must be set.
- If you installed ULP prior to 2.11, these will be disabled ('N') and must
- be enabled ('O', 'E' or 'B') if you want the associated checkers executed.
-
- The new "process nested subdirectories" flag must be set. If you installed
- ULP prior to 2.11, this will be defaulted off ('N'). It should be turned
- on ('Y') for proper operation of ULP.
-
- Version 2.10:
-
- No configuration file adjustments are required unless you wish to repack
- nested archives as ULP did before. If so, set the "repack nested archives"
- flag to 'Y'.
-
- Version 2.05:
-
- Add "@FILE@" to the end of your text and graphical editor command strings.
-
- Version 2.04:
-
- No configuration file adjustments are required.
-
- Version 2.03:
-
- If you are using the FOSSIL interface of ULP for online testing, you must
- alter your PCBTEST.BAT command line, as the functionality of the -X command
- line switch has changed. It now does not require a port number, as ULP
- will decipher the port number from the door drop file. For most sysops
- using the FOSSIL interface, simply using -X is sufficient. Refer to the
- documentation for more information.
-
- The new "process nested archives" and "process nested GIF/JPEG files" flags
- must be set. If you installed prior to 2.03, these will be defaulted off
- ('N'). I strongly recommend turning them both on ('Y').
-
- If JPEG file checking is desired and you installed prior to this release,
- you should reset the desired limits for JPEG via ULPSM.
-
- Version 2.02:
-
- No configuration file adjustments are required.
-
- Version 2.01:
-
- Use ULPSM and either set up all of your upload directory sets to the proper
- conference assignments or disable the conference assignment. Currently,
- without making this adjustment, all upload directory sets are now defined
- as the main board conference (conference 0).
-
- Version 2.00:
-
- Re-installation from scratch is required; there is no update utility
- included in the distribution archive. You must install ULP 2.00 into a new
- subdirectory; do not copy over your 1.x files. If you are a registered
- user of ULP, copy your existing ULP.KEY file into the new ULP 2.00
- subdirectory.
-
- Follow the installation instructions in the ULP.DOC file to use the new
- automatic installation system that is built into ULPSM. This system
- generates a working configuration file and all required external
- configuration files, leaving only the documented adjustments to complete
- your setup.
-
- Once you have fully configured ULP 2.00, copy your existing ULP duplication
- database files to your 2.00 subdirectory. Do not copy your old BBS ads
- database or process data file to your ULP 2.00 subdirectory, as they are
- not compatible.
-
- * NOTE: If you have a lot of work invested in your ULP configuration (e.g.
- a large number of upload directories), download the file
- ULP_1TO2.ZIP, which contains the necessary update files for
- updating from 1.1x to 2.00. However, for most sysops, updating in
- this fashion will be much more effort and error-prone than using
- ULPSM's automatic installation!
