- 020_Upgrader v1.3 by John Mason, ©1996.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Short description.
-
- What this little tool does is pretty simple: It searches the commands in
- your sys:c/-directory and replaces old, 68000 routines with optimized
- routines designed for 68020 and better. This will result in a great speed
- increase of up to 200%!
-
- 2. Installation.
-
- Just copy the files 020_Updater.exe and 020_Updater.dat to directory, it
- doesn't matter which one, *BUT* always put the 020_Updater.dat in the same
- dir as the .exe, because 020_Updater.dat contains all the new, optimized,
- routines, and without it 020_Updater.exe will either crash your machine, or
- simply not work. Second of all: DO NOT EVER EDIT THE 020_Updater.dat!! If
- you change this file, you can end up with all your C-commands totally
- messed up, because the old routines were replaced with the corrupt
- routines! So don't say I didn't warn you!
-
- 3. Usage.
-
- Go to your shell and type '020_Updater.exe', the rest will go automatic.
- The Updater now searches in your C-directory and will update all (well,
- almost all) of the old 68000-routines with faster ones.
-
- 4. History.
-
- v1.3 - Some bugfixes on non-standard commands.
- - An update of the 020_Updater.dat with now even more support for
- non-standard commands.
- - A small speed increase of about 5%, not really noticable.
- - 68060-detection and usage.
- v1.2 - The routine-data is now in a seperate datafile, because it simply
- got too big.
- - Fixed a bug which made the program crash on a a4000/040.
- - Huge speed-increase compared to v1.1!
- - Optimized, smaller code.
- v1.1 - First public release; this is just a bugfixed/optimized version of
- v1.0.
- - All (?) bugs removed.
- v1.0 - Internal release, lot's of bugs, Crap code, etc.
