- Upgrading from previous Robocomm Releases
- -----------------------------------------
-
- To quickly upgrade from Robocomm version 1.0, 1.05 or 1.06, simply
- unZIP the contents of the ROBO20-A.ZIP and ROBO20-B.ZIP files into
- your existing Robocomm subdirectory. When PKUNZIP prompts you to
- overwrite a file, answer yes each time. You will not loose any data
- during the upgrade procedure.
-
- NOTE: If you have altered any of Robocomm's file transfer batch
- files (ROBOR?.BAT and ROBOS?.BAT) you do not need to
- overwrite those files with the new ones. Your old files will
- work fine with this new version. These files are the only
- exceptions. Overwrite all others as prompted by PKUNZIP.
-
- Next, make sure that your CONFIG.SYS file contains a line enabling a
- FILES setting of 39 or more. Note, this is a CHANGE from previous
- version of Robocomm.
-
- Next, make sure that you add you Robocomm directory to your DOS
- search PATH. This is essential if you want Robocomm's new auto-Puma
- and auto-Zmodem downloads to work.
-
- If you have made any changes in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT
- files, re-boot your computer before starting Robocomm.
-
- Now start Robocomm. An automatic upgrade procedure will convert
- your old databases to the new format.
-
- Your old databases will be renamed. After you have verified that
- the upgrade was performed properly, you may delete OLD*.DB* from
- your Robocomm directory.
-
- ROBOCOMM.HST summarizes all the work that has gone on during the long
- trek from 1.05 to 2.0. It's a good way to get clued in to all the new
- changes if you're a veteran Robocomm user.
-
- Have Fun!
-
-
- If you have any problems with upgrading to the new version, please
- contact the Robocomm support BBS at (213) 556-3894 or leave a
- message to DAN PARSONS in the ROBOCOMM conference on an Interlink,
- Smartnet, RIME or Metrolink BBS near you.
