- UPDATING FROM VERSION 1.0
- -------------------------------
-
- This upgrade documentation is for previous PRO-FILE users upgrading
- from version 1 to version 2.
- If you set up PRO-FILE version 1.0, it'll be a snap to upgrade
- version 2. In fact, the PRO-FILE program upgrade shouldn't take
- but 6 keystrokes to do it! Just UNZIP (not un-arj) all the files making
- sure you overright all existing files. Every single file got updated for
- version 2. Make sure you are in the PRO-FILE directory and type in PROCON.
- This will convert the data-base as well as the Profile.Cfg and ProSecur.Ctl
- files.
- It would be a good idea to erase all of your existing area listings in
- your RA text files directory (FilesA.Asc - FilesZ.Ans). A simple
- Del Files?.* should do the job.
- Last, go into PRO-FILE and Generate All Area Listings (Alt-G). This
- will generate the new numbered lists.
-
- Now for the RA upgrade...
-
- If you set up your file system with a different menu for every area,
- just change every menu's type 5 optional data field from Files(Character)
- to Files(NUMBER). The new file system generates number suffixes not letter
- suffixes. In other words FilesA.* will now be generated as Files1.*.
- FilesJ.* will now be generated as Files10.*.
- If you set your files system up with the list type menu (only one file
- menu with a list sub-menu), delete the list menu. Yes, delete it. I'm
- sorry you had to go through and create the list menu and then a month later
- delete it and start over, but I think you'll agree that the 100 areas
- support is worth it. Add an Type 6 option to your file menu. In the
- optional data field put exactly:
- Files
- You can use the same hotkey as with the previous list menu. Last, create a
- screen (list) of all available areas and their corresponding numbers. This
- option should be practically identical to say, a bulletin menu off the main
- menu.
-
- If you are a SysOp using FileDoor waiting patiently for FileDoor support,
- surprise! It's here. More details are in the docs under FileDoor Support.
-
- Lots of other great ideas found there way into version 2. Be sure to
- chech WhatsNew.200 for a list.
