Upgrading To Registered/New Versions From Version 8.00 & Later:
To prevent loss of any data do the following:
1. Copy all files with DAT or NTX extension and the COLOUR.SET file to
another disk/location and set aside.
2. Run the INSTALL program.
3. The program will automatically read your old defaults information and
upgrade your data files.
Upgrading To Registered/New Versions From Version 7.00 & Later:
To prevent loss of any data do the following:
1. Copy all files with DAT or NTX extension and the COLOUR.SET file to
another disk/location and set aside.
2. Run the INSTALL program, to a NEW location.
3. Start the program and create a new data file.
4. Use the Import feature from the Utilities menu to upgrade your old data
files.
For Versions Prior to 7.00 BUT after 6.41
The disk with the registered version has a utility called CONVERT.EXE that
must be used to convert these files. See the the file CONVERT.DOC for
instructions.
FOR VERSIONS PRIOR TO 6.40:
There is no internal way to back up the data files from these versions, the
changes have been too dramatic. If you are a registered user, send all
files with the extension DAT and the COLOUR.SET file to Unicorn Software
along with .75 in postage and we will upgrade the data files for you and
send them back by return mail.
