Greetings:
We at Buffalo Creek Software would like to take this opportunity
to thank you for your support and promotion of SPITFIRE.
Buffalo Creek Software is very proud to announce the release of
SPITFIRE v3.51. As a licensed SPITFIRE Sysop, if you wish to upgrade
to SPITFIRE v3.51 using the download/upgrade option, you will need to
download the SPITFIRE upgrade form, SFUPGRAD.351. Complete this
form and return it to Buffalo Creek Software. Upon receipt of your
completed form, Buffalo Creek Software will prepare your personalized
SF351SN upgrade package and make it available to you for download
from Buffalo Creek's BBS. Then, simply follow the steps described
below to convert the shareware copy of SPITFIRE v3.51 to your licensed
copy.
START *** CONVERTING SHAREWARE SPITFIRE v3.51 TO A LICENSED COPY
---------------------------------------------------------------
First, copy the shareware SPITFIRE.EXE, SPITFIRE.OVR, SPITFIRE.HLP
and the SF351SN package (SF351SN package is provided by Buffalo Creek
Software to licensed SPITFIRE Sysop who have selected the SPITFIRE v3.51
download/upgrade option) files into your SPITFIRE home directory.
Then execute <serial number>.BAT. You should see the below example
appear on your monitor:
╒═════════════════════════════════════════╕
│ SF351SN Version 1.0 │
│ Buffalo Creek Software │
│ Copyright (C) by Mike Woltz, 1996 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
Success!
Thank you for your support of SPITFIRE!
This converts the shareware copy of SPITFIRE v3.51 into your licensed
copy of SPITFIRE v3.51.
END *** CONVERTING SHAREWARE SPITFIRE v3.51 TO A LICENSED COPY
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the event you are upgrading to SPITFIRE v3.51 from SPITFIRE v3.5,
then please follow the directions listed below.
Begin by placing SF35_351.EXE in each SPITFIRE HOME directory per
node and executing it. After running it in each of the SPITFIRE Home
directories it should be erased from the drive(s). Messages will appear
on the screen as SF35_351 works to update the necessary files to SPITFIRE
v3.51 format. This will allow you to follow the conversion process. To
better understand what is taking place during the conversion, the
required updates SF35_351 performs during the conversion process are
listed below:
1) Reads information from the old SFNODE.DAT file and
creates a new SFNODE.DAT compatible with SPITFIRE v3.51.
2) Reads information from the old SFSYSTEM.DAT file and
creates a new SFSYSTEM.DAT compatible with SPITFIRE v3.51.
3) Adds "S,<S>.. Specific Caller Messages,,10,S" to the
SFMSG.MNU file.
4) Alters SFSYSOP.MNU file by removing the "List Comments"
option and by adding the "Sysop Menu Extension" option.
*** NOTE *** If the BBS uses display files for the Message Menu,
the MSG<x>.BBS/CLR/RIP display screens will also need to be
modified by the Sysop to correctly reflect the Message Menu options.
If the BBS uses display files for the Sysop Menu, the
SOP<x>.BBS/CLR/RIP display screens will also need to be
modified by the Sysop to correctly reflect the Sysop Menu options.
Once SF35_351 has finished the conversion process, you will need to
erase the SF35_351 conversion utility.
The above steps are REQUIRED to convert from SFv3.5 to SFv3.51!!
Thank you & ENJOY,
Ann Woltz
