- =====================
-
- If you are a previous user of {COMMO}, you will probably want to
- retain your customized support files. This guide will help you to
- do that and to take advantage of the new features as well.
-
- Instructions will first be given for a general upgrade from any
- version 5 release, followed by specific instructions for upgrading
- to the most recent release(s).
-
- The file HISTORY contains a complete list of changes, including new
- macro functions that may be used to improve your custom macros.
-
-
- General Upgrade Instructions
- ----------------------------
-
- 1. Replace your old copy of COMMO.COM with the new copy.
-
- 2. Keep your old COMMO.SET.
-
- 3. Keep your old COMMO.FON.
-
- 4. If you have NOT made any custom changes to COMMO.MAC, then
- replace your old copy with the new copy. If you have made
- changes, then follow the specific instructions below.
-
- 5. Replace your old copies of COMMO.HLP, COMMO.DOC and MACRO.DOC
- with the new copies.
-
-
- Specific Upgrade Instructions - Upgrading to 5.52
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- COMMO.SET
- =========
-
- Most users will want to change their "hfc" item as follows:
-
- {hfc=auto} Hardware (RTS/CTS) Flow Control (auto/yes/no)
-
- This new setting for Hardware Flow Control should work for virtually
- all users. If necessary, the "yes" and "no" options are still
- available.
-
-
- COMMO.MAC
- =========
-
- The macro functions HFLOw and SFLOw have been eliminated. They
- should be removed from your custom macros (they were not used in any
- standard {COMMO} macros).
-
- The file transfer (protocol) macros have been updated. If you have
- customized your Macro File, you should use a cut and paste editor to
- include the new protocol macros (both upload and download). The
- Macro File SELECT.MAC should be placed in your {COMMO} home
- directory.
