PLEASE NOTE:
ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING NEW VERSIONS !!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
v1.4 YOU MUST run: CLCONVRT to exand the CLASSIFIED database
CLCONVRT CLASSIFY.CFG
BACKUP CLASSIFY.DAT and CLASSIFY.INX FIRST!!!!
You MUST also make changes to your CFG and CAT
files, as new fields have been added. See the example
CAT and CFG files AND read the DOCS!
v1.5 & v1.6 CONFIGURATION FILE HAS CHANGED! See CLassify.HIS and
Classify.DOC for further details!
v1.8 CONFIGURATION file has changed! See Docs!
v1.9 CONFIGURATION file has changed! See Docs!
CLASSIFY.CAT has changed! See Docs!
Read the DOCS and the CLASSIFY.HIS file!!!!
v3.0 Converting to v3.0
(1) Run CL30CVT.EXE xx
If you have PAID ADS on your BBS then xx will be the number of
days to be added to each ad's Date Entered entry to arrive at
a new Ad Expiration Date. If you leave it off the default will
be 20 days.
Note: The initial conversion will delete all Messages and the
Users file!
READ CAREFULLY!!! If you use the CLEXCH program to import Ads
AND you have to import a pre-v3.0 created packet then you MUST
add /EXP to the command line of CL30CVT every time you import.
This option signals CL30CVT to ONLY convert the incoming
packet and NOT convert the existing database (CL30CVT /EXP).
Prior versions of CLEXCH will NOT work with v3.0 import files.
NOTE>>> If you are trying to automate this process thru a batch file,
and allow it to process automatically, you must use /EXPOFF,
instead of /EXP. Everything functions the same, EXCEPT that
you will not be asked if you wish to Continue or Abort the
process.
(2) Update the configuration file (See Docs)
(3) Modify the CLTOPICS file (See DOcs) or delete if not going to
be used (See Docs)
(4) Modify CLASSIFY.CAT (See Docs)
(5) Modify COMPRESS.DAT file (See Docs) to define the Compression
methods you support on your BBS.
(6) Modify PROTOCOL.DAT file (See Docs) to define the file
transfer protocols you support on your BBS. Note that you
MUST have these protocols available anywhere in your path and
you must supply your own batch files or use the ones supplied
if approptiate (found in the file: CLBATCH.ZIP
(7) If you use the Exchange program, be aware that the .EXP
extension of the exported files have changed to .AXP (Exported
Ads) and .MXP (exported messages).
