-
- What Is This For?
- ===============
- These applications are ResCompare resource patching applications.
- Applying the appropriate patch to a COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL ("virgin")
- MacTCP or MacTCP Admin control panel will upgrade your copy to version 2.0.6.
-
- Apple has selected this technology because it allows us to ensure a highly
- predictable update process, thus improving the reliability of the overall
- upgrade.
-
- Apple has created the updaters to work only on an unmodifed copy of the
- original software in order to promote updating only of properly licensed
- copies of MacTCP software. While we recognize that this can be somewhat
- of a hassle, we think that is a much better approach that a mail-in
- proof-of-purchase and wait for the diskette in the mail kind of upgrades that
- have often been done in the past.
-
- What Can Be Upgraded?
- ====================
- All licensed copies of MacTCP 2.0.2 or MacTCP 2.0.4 can be upgraded.
-
- What About System 7.5 Users?
- ===========================
- Apple plans to upgrade MacTCP for System 7.5 users through the soon-to-be-
- released System Update 4.0. This will include MacTCP 2.0.6 updates along with
- other recommended software upgrades for System 7.5 users.
-
- For those of you who just can't wait to get MacTCP upgraded, some additional
- care will be required to use these patchers. In particular, you must take steps
- to re-install a "virgin" copy of MacTCP from your Sytem 7.5 distribution media.
- The specifics of this will vary depending on whether you have System 7.5 on
- floppy or CD.
-
- For CD users, you will need to drag a copy of MacTCP from the CD to your
- desktop, use the correct patcher to update the copy, and then replace the
- older version in your System Folder with the updated version.
-
- For floppy users, you will will need to do a custom install and select MacTCP
- only. Then, reboot _with extensions off_, run the correct version of the patcher,
- and finally reboot with extensions on.
-
- What Cannot Be Upgraded?
- =======================
- Any other version of MacTCP 2.x (i.e, 2.0.1... 2.0.3... 2.0.5…), any MacTCP
- alpha, beta, or development version, or any version of MacTCP v1.x may not
- be upgraded.
-
- What's The Difference?
- ====================
- The changes between MacTCP 2.0.4 and MacTCP 2.0.6 are described in the
- Release Notes document.
-
- MacTCP 2.0.5 was an interim release, only distributed internally at Apple.
