- QReader 3.0 Copyright 1991-1993 Yandell Computer Services
-
- This is QReader version 1.0 - 2.0 to version 3.0 upgrade information.
- If you are installing QReader for the first time, disregard this file.
-
- Upgrading to the version 3.0 is very easy and is handled almost
- entirely automatically by QRSETUP.EXE.
-
- PRINT THIS FILE and use it as a check list. It is barely two printed
- pages in length.
-
- (1) Back up the current QReader 1.0 and 2.0 configurations, especially
- all of the *.CNF and *.DAT files.
-
- (2) Extract the contents of QREAD30.ZIP into your QReader directory.
- Do not over-write any of the SELECT.*, *.CNF, or *.DAT files. Use
- your own judgment before over-writing files such as MENU, HELP, etc.
- If you have customized these text files you will not want to use the
- ones found in QREAD30.ZIP.
-
- (3) Run QRSETUP /UPDATE - the /UPDATE switch places QRSETUP into a
- special mode for converting your *.CNF files for version 3.0 use.
-
- (4) Answer the following question appropriately:
-
- * All .CNF files should be backed up before updating. Continue (Y/N)?
- If you answer no, QRSETUP will end, giving you the opportunity to do
- what should have been done in step #1 !!!
-
- (5) If QRSETUP detects version 1.0 *.CNF files, the following question
- will appear (once):
-
- * Select the BBS software QReader is running with?
- (1) PCBoard 14.5x
- (2) Wildcat 3.x
- (3) Other using generic DOOR.SYS
-
- The answer you give will be placed in the new QREADER.@@@ config file.
- If QRSETUP detects version 2.0 *.CNF files the above question will not
- be asked since the information is already present in QReader 2.0.
-
-
- (MISCELLANEOUS)
- ---------------
- IMPORTANT! QRSETUP will use the FIRST .CNF file it sees in the current
- directory to create QREADER.@@@. The following parameters are placed
- in the new QREADER.@@@ file from this .CNF file:
-
- - The BBS Name.
- - Your QReader registration number.
- - Disable (G)oodbye (y/n).
- - Swap mode for QReader during shells.
- - BBS type (QReader 2.0 - see STEP #5 above for QReader 1.0).
-
- NOTE: If the first .CNF file found is SELECT.CNF, QRSETUP will use the
- next .CNF file found in the current directory to create QREADER.@@@.

- * * * QReader version 1.0 - 2.0 to version 3.0 upgrade - PAGE 2 * * *
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- VERSION 1.0 to 3.0 ONLY
- -----------------------
- The following instructions are ONLY for updating existing QReader 1.0
- installations to QReader 3.0.
-
- You will need to reflect the new (Z)ippy command in the MENU and HELP
- files, and also remove references to the (O)perator page function in
- these files. If you are using the default MENU and HELP files from
- QReader version 1.0, simply use the files contained in QREAD30.ZIP.
- You should also delete any BYE (BYEG) files, as they are no longer
- used in QReader 3.0.
-
- Using the new built-in editor for text *.DAT data files in QRSETUP,
- you may wish to provide some sort of brief description which will be
- displayed when doing a Zippy search (see QREADER.DOC for additional
- information).
-
-
- VERSION 1.0, 2.0 TO VERSION 3.0 ONLY
- ------------------------------------
- This automated upgrade provided by QRSETUP is a "bare bones" upgrade.
- Please refer to QREADER.DOC and FEATURES.NEW for more information and
- instructions which may be used for "fine tuning" your upgrade.
