- Upgrading from version 1.86, 1.87, 1.9
- --------------------------------------
-
-
- You can use your FON files from the later versions. You can also save your
- ACE.PRM file setup by running DPRM.EXE.
-
-
-
- 1) Use the DPRM.EXE from the old version to backup your ACE.PRM file.
- DPRM.EXE will write your ACE.PRM file to ACE.CTL.
- Make certain you use DPRM.EXE from the version you are upgrading from...
- Copy the ACE.CTL file DPRM.EXE creates to a directory you can later recall
- it from.
-
- 2) If you want your FON files (telephone directory list files), copy them to a
- directory you can later recall it from.
-
- 3) Copy and SCR files to a directory you can later recall it from.
-
- 4) After you have save the above files to another directory, delete the
- old installation. You keep your CAP files. Make sure you delete any files
- that came with the AceComm package. This is to insure you don't have any
- old DOC files, or samples that may be out dated.
- Install version 2 by un-arcing the files into your ACE sub directory.
-
- 5) Copy the ACE.CTL file created and saved from step 1.
- Run INSTALL.BAT
- You can recall any other saved file after running INSTALL.BAT.
- FON, SCR, CAP etc.
