- Excelsior Upgrade Utility
- Version 1.0 -> Version 2.0
- --------------------------
-
- The UPGRADE program supplied with this release of Excelsior Phase One will
- allow you to do the following:
-
- - Convert saved games
- - Convert your system configuration files
- - Maintain your registration status
-
- There are a few important points to keep in mind before starting this
- procedure:
-
- - Do NOT delete version 1.0 from your hard drive until you have
- completed the upgrade process. Do NOT install version 2.0 in the
- same directory as version 1.0.
-
- - If you used the REGISTER program to generate a registration code for
- your copy of Excelsior, the generated code will no longer be valid.
- You must run the REGISTER program supplied with the new version to get
- a new code.
-
- - If you sent in your registration code generated by version 1.0 but
- have not yet received a counter-code, you have two choices:
- 1. Do not upgrade to version 2.0 until you get the counter-code
- from Castle Software. When it arrives, register your copy of
- version 1.0 and then use the UPGRADE program to upgrade to v2.0.
- Your registration will then be retained.
- 2. Upgrade to v2.0 now, re-run REGISTER, and send in the new code.
- We will supply you with a new counter-code at no charge.
-

- UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
- --------------------
-
- To begin the upgrade process, run the UPGRADE program. The program will
- begin by asking you to enter the full directory and pathname to version 1.0.
- It will then verify that all of the necessary files are present to perform
- the upgrade. If any are missing, you will be notified and the process will
- terminate.
-
- If the program detects that you were using a SoundBlaster card in version
- 1.0 of Excelsior, it will prompt you to enter the port address and IRQ which
- your soundcard uses. Enter these two values if you know them. If you wish
- to change the settings, you can use the new -SB command line option when
- running Excelsior. Consult the reference manual for a detailed description
- of this procedure.
-
- Next, the program will automatically convert your saved games from version
- 1.0 to 2.0. Any saved games which you may have already saved with version
- 2.0 will be erased by this procedure, so be certain that there are no save
- files in the version 2.0 directory which you want. (Files starting with SAVE)
-
- After all save files are converted, the program will check to see if your
- copy of version 1.0 was registered. If so, it will transfer your
- registration to version 2.0.
-
- At this point, the upgrade procedure is complete. You can now run the
- new version of Excelsior and continue from where you left off! Enjoy!
