Upgrading From a Previous Version
---------------------------------
For upgrading from Version 2.10:
--------------------------------
Just copy the files marked as changed in the sysop.doc over the
old ones. A game reset should NOT be required. That's it!
For upgrading from Version 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04:
----------------------------------------------
-> 1. Unfortunately due to recent hacker activity I have been forced
to change the registered key number!!! Running the game in local mode
(GOC /L) will automatically run the key input routine to make the
correct new format key file. NOTE: Sysop and BBS Names are now
automatically taken from the GOC.CTL file. Registered users may
obtain a new key by using one of the below 3 methods:
a. Send me a letter by snail mail requesting it and enclosing
a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (SSAE) and I will mail to you.
Requests without the SSAE will NOT be honored....
b. Netmail me DIRECTLY at FIDO 1:391/3010 requesting a new key.
If you use this method than you must poll back no earlier than 48 hours
from the time you sent your netmail me to pick up the reply and the
new key. Routed netmail requests will not be honored....
c. Leave me a private message on my Support BBS (501-741-5699)
requesting a new key. If you use this method than you must check back
no earlier than 48 hours from the time you sent your netmail me to pick
up the reply and the new key.
d. Please note that I will be away on business from 10-30 August
1995 and unable to answer/reply to mail during that period.
-> 2. In all cases you must include your OLD key code in your letter,
message, etc.. as proof of your registration of GOC.
3. First copy all the new files over any existing ones in the game
directory. Be sure to read the History.DOC file to get a feel for
what has changed.
-> 4. You will need to RESET the game since the data structures have
changed. See the sysop.doc for how to do this. Sorry this was
necessary, but this was required in order to make the game faster and
more efficient as well as implement a few new features. The fastest
way to do it would be to type "G.BAT" from the game directory and
then hit the enter key.
5. Make sure maint.exe is run once daily in your daily maintenance
event. Maint.exe MUST be run from the game directory.
For upgrading from versions prior to 2.02:
-----------------------------------------
Persons upgrading from versions prior to 2.02 should start from
scratch.
