- Brief notes for users of previous versions ================================
-
- Upgrading from previous versions of MailBot
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- v1.20 has had a fairly comprehensive restructuring of the way it keeps
- its data, which is now stored in User pseudo application as per TCPIP.
- Consequently upgrading from previous versions is a bit of a hassle, but with
- future updates will be much simpler - just a case of replacing MailBot.
- It'll be better in the long run, trust me, OK then, don't. :)
-
- 1) Copy !MBotUser into the same directory as your old copy of !MailBot.
- 2) Double click on !MBotUser - this will open the Bot:User filer window.
- 3) Delete the "Exclude" file in the resulting.
- 4) Delete everything in the "Files" directory.
- 5) Shift-Double Click on your old copy of !MailBot.
- 6) Copy the Log and Script files from inside your old !Mailbot to the
- Bot:User filer window.
- 7) Copy the "Files" directory from inside your old !Mailbot to the
- Bot:User filer window.
- 8) Now delete your old copy of !Mailbot, and copy the new version in.

- CLI Parameters to the MailBot command
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If no CLI parameters are given MailBot now uses the system variables
- MailBot$Options and MailBot$ScriptFile. These are set in the
- !MBotUser.!Options Obey file. So, for silent running you load
- !MBotUser.!Options into a text editor, and insert a Q inbetween the quotes
- of the line setting MailBot$Options.
