- What is needed to update
- ========================
-
- . This archive file, and:
-
- . An un-modified ExtenDOS distribution diskette, version 1.20, or
- . An un-modified ExtenDOS distribution diskette, version 1.11, or
- . An un-modified ExtenDOS distribution diskette, version 1.1, or
- . An un-modified ExtenDOS distribution diskette, version 1.0.
-
-
- How to update
- =============
-
- 1. Make sure you have made a backup copy of the ExtenDOS distribution
- diskette.
-
- 2. Copy the PATCH121.TOS file to the ExtenDOS distribution diskette.
-
- 3. Run PATCH121.TOS by double-clicking on it from the desktop. For
- each of the modules CD.BOS, EXTENDOS.PRG, UNIDRIVE.DOS & UNI_BDDS.DOS,
- the program will create a backup copy of the original module (with
- a .BAK extension) and then patch the original copy. The final
- message should be "All modules patched successfully". If not,
- please read the error messages carefully; they should indicate
- what the problem is.
-
- 4. Replace the following files on your distribution diskette with
- the corresponding files from this archive:
- READ.ME
- TRACE.TTP
-
- 5. (Optional step) Copy CHECKIT.TOS and CHECKIT.CTL to your ExtenDOS
- distribution diskette, and double-click on CHECKIT.TOS. It will
- perform a simple checksum verification on each of the files you
- updated/replaced in steps 3 & 4 above. If you get any messages
- indicating that a module failed to verify, it's probable that
- your newly-updated copy of ExtenDOS is invalid. Try obtaining
- another copy of this archive and redoing the update. Alternatively,
- you can order an updated copy from Anodyne Software: please see
- below under "If you get an error message" for how to order.
-
- 6. Once you have finished updating your distribution diskette,
- make a backup copy of this newer version.
-
- ** VERY IMPORTANT STEP, READ CAREFULLY **
-
- 7. To install this version on your system, you MUST replace the
- following files in your system with the corresponding files from
- the newly updated disk:
-
- CD.BOS
- EXTENDOS.PRG
- TRACE.TTP
- UNIDRIVE.DOS
- UNI_BDDS.DOS
-
- 8. Please take the time to read the new READ.ME file carefully.
- It contains information about all the new features of ExtenDOS
- v1.21, particularly photoCD support.
-
-
- If you get an error message
- ===========================
-
- If you get an error message during the patch process and cannot
- resolve the problem, you can mail us the diskette so that we can
- update it.
-
- To have your diskette updated by us, you need to:
-
- 1. Send in your original ExtenDOS distribution diskette.
- 2. Enclose a cheque for $5 + $2 shipping & handling ($7 total).
- 3. Enclose a note with your name, address, and daytime phone number.
-
- In return you will receive a diskette containing ExtenDOS v1.21.
