- Updating STeno To Version 1.03
- ==============================
-
- You should find the following in this archive:
-
- CHANGES.101 The list of changes in version 1.01 of STeno
- CHANGES.103 The list of changes in versions 1.02 and 1.03 of STeno
- PATCH.PRG A program that will update your STeno 1.00 to 1.03
- READ_ME.TXT This file
- STENO.RSC The new resource file for version 1.03
- STNO_100.103 A data file for PATCH.PRG
-
- This archive may be distributed freely. STeno however is a commercial
- product whose copyright is owned by Strata Software, and therefore may not
- be duplicated in any way other than for backup purposes. If you frequent
- various BBSes then please upload this patch program so that other STeno
- owners can get the benefits of the new version. As always, a $5 disk swap
- is possible for those who can't get or don't want to use this patch. Just
- send in the *original* diskette and $5 to the address given at the end of
- this file.
-
-
- To update a copy of STeno 1.00 to version 1.03 follow these steps:
-
- 1 Create a (temporary) folder and put the following files in it:
-
- PATCH.PRG STNO_100.103 STENO.100
-
- The name and location of the temporary folder is not important. If
- you're using a floppy disk the root directory is fine, but don't have
- anything else there. Also, make sure you've got at least 60K free for
- the output file.
-
- The first two files are from this patch archive, the file STENO.100 is
- created in one of two ways: if your distribution diskette contains a
- file called STENO.100 then use that file, otherwise your distribution
- disk is for version 1.00 and you should copy and then rename the
- original STENO.ACC to STENO.100 in the temporary folder.
-
- Note: if you have enough disk space (ie. a double-sided floppy or a
- hard disk) you can put your STALKER.200 and the STKR_200.206 file from
- the STalker 2.06 upgrade patch in the same folder and update your
- STalker right after you finish updating STeno.
-
- 2 Double-click on the PATCH.PRG program. It will read from STENO.100 and
- STNO_100.103 and will produce STENO.ACC.
-
- If any errors occur during the process (such as a disk full error) you
- will be given a warning message and the update will be aborted. Take
- whatever action is necessary to remedy the situation and try again.
- The most likely cause is a write-protect or full diskette error.
-
- If you get an alert box indicating that the checksum doesn't match
- then there are a couple of possibilities as to what went wrong. This
- could happen if you used the wrong file for STENO.100 - it must be the
- version from the distribution diskette. DO NOT USE YOUR EVERYDAY COPY
- OF STENO.ACC!! If you've used the "Save Settings" or the old
- STENOCFG.TTP utility it will be different from the original STeno
- version 1.00 file. If even one byte of the file is different the patch
- won't work. The other possibility when things go wrong is that the
- STNO_100.103 file got corrupted during the downloading or unARCing
- process. This is pretty unlikely but has been known to happen. Try
- downloading it again and repeat the process.
-
- 3 Copy the newly created STENO.ACC and the new STENO.RSC found in the
- archive onto your boot diskette or your hard drive.
-
-
- That's all there is to it!
-
- Do *NOT* delete your original copy of STeno; it will be needed for future
- updates.
-
- Be sure to carefully read the CHANGES.101 and CHANGES.103 files. They
- contain detailed descriptions of the new features.
