- This release will only work with CATDISK 7.0 and higher. Use CDU 2.01
- for CATDISK versions 6.3x and CDU 1.15 for even lower versions ! The
- upgrade for any version of CDU is performed as follows.
-
-
- [START] If you upgrade from a version lower than 2.01 to 3.01, or you
- upgrade from 2.10 or 2.11 to 3.01, go to [2]. If you upgrade
- from 2.01 to 3.01 and you DID NOT use CDZ 2.01 (for tapes),
- also go to [2].
-
- [============================================================]
- [1] Upgrade 2.01 (where you did use CDZ for tape-support) to 3.01:
- [============================================================]
-
- IF you have used CDZ in the CDU-utilities version 2.01, you
- must FIRST run 201to210.EXE before you can use the database
- again. This is because CATDISK 7.00 is more strict about some
- values in certain fields. The format is:
-
- 201TO210 [database]
-
- For example '201To210.EXE TAPE' will fix the TAPE.DTA to the
- correct fields.
-
- You can run 201TO210 over already converted (CDISKCVT) 7.00
- databases without any harm, but you should ONLY use the
- utility with a CATDISK-compatible database which was created
- with CDZ.EXE (version 2.01).
-
- 201To210.EXE must be run in the directory where the *.DTA file
- can be found !
-
- [2] If you upgrade from any version to version 3.01 (if you used
- version 2.01 WITH CDZ.EXE, first perform the steps in [1]):
-
- [============================================================]
- Upgrade any version to version 3.01
- [============================================================]
-
- First switch to the directory that contains your CDx.CTL file
- or files. If they are split over various directories, then you
- must move them all to one directory and make that directory
- the current one.
-
- Now run ANYTO301.EXE. If takes no parameters and will convert
- CDU.CTL or CDC/CDF/CDM/CDR/CDS/CDT/CDZ.CTL plus CDU.CTL to the
- new CDU.INI file.
-
- Backup you old CDx.CTL file(s) and delete them from the
- current directory after the backup.
-
- Replace all programs with the 3.01 versions after you have
- made a backup of the old versions too.
-
- CDU is now upgraded to version 3.01.
-
-
- The CDU 3.01 version uses a CDU.INI file for ALL programs. The option
- to use different configuration files for different programs is now
- obsolete. All configuration options in CDU.INI have new names. The
- ANYTO301.EXE program will create a new CDU.INI from you old config
- files and will convert in the following way:
-
- Old New Block
- CDUTempDirectory TempDirectory [general]
- CDUSwapDirectory SwapDirectory ,,
- CDUCatdiskProg CATDISKProgramPath ,,
- CDUCatdiskBase CATDISKBaseDirectory ,,
- ClusterSize DisketteClusterSize-1 [CDM]
- Directory2Base DirectoryToDatabase [CDM]
- ToOldFiles ToOldFiles [CDR]
- ExcludeFile ExcludeFileForRemoval [CDR]
- FileListUpdate FileListUpdate [CDT]
- GlobalChange GlobalChange [CDT]
- TapeProgramPath TapeProgramPath [CDZ]
- BaseOptions CATDISKBaseOptions **)
- BaseDrive CATDISKBaseDrive **)
-
-
- **) These options can be placed in a block that has the same name as
- the database that uses this parameters, like [CATDISK], [ARCH] and
- so on.
-
-
- New in CDU 3.01 are the following parameters, which are described in
- the manual:
-
- New Block
- ExcludeForProcessing [CDM]
- TriggerCDTOnFile [CDM]
- CDTProgramPath [CDM]
-
- The old Directory2Base (new DirectoryToDatabase) option is changed.
- The 'drive' parameter is now obsolete. You must use the equivalent
- option CATDISKBaseDrive in the block that carries the name of the
- database for which this option rules !
