* Upgrading from v2.3x to v2.35 *
Just copy the new .WCX files over the old ones.
* Information on upgrading from v2.1x or v2.2x to v2.3x or higher *
v2.30 has some changes in the data layout of the LISTSERV.DAT file, so we
will need to recreate the LISTSERV.DAT file. The data files for each list
are not affected, only the main LISTSERV.DAT file.
* Please follow these steps EXACTLY! *
(Make a backup of all your files beforehand!)
1) BEFORE you install the new version, run the current version (v2.2x)
of Listutil.
2) Choose the option to View your Mailing Lists. Either write down or
print out the list of your mailing lists. You will need the mailing
list names, main file names and list types.
3) Exit out of Listutil. Rename your LISTSERV.DAT to LISTSERV.BAK.
4) Install the new Listserv and Listutil WCX files over the old files.
5) Run the new Listutil. You need to Create a New Mailing List and recreate
the mailing lists you had, with the list name, file names and list type
the same. There are some new questions asked when you recreate your
mailing lists. These should be fairly straightforward. Full descriptions
of each question are in the LISTSERV.DOC file.
6) That should be it!
If you run into problems, please contact me!
