- SyncChat 2.2 Upgrading Instructions
- -----------------------------------
-
-
- Note: Many upgrading procedures require adding lines to your STRINGS.DAT
- file. If you have not edited this file (or at least don't mind
- recreating any changes you made), you may delete this file. Then run
- SCONFIG->String Editor and a fully updated STRINGS.DAT will be created
- automatically. You can then skip the steps that say "Add the following
- lines to your STRINGS.DAT...".
-
-
- To Upgrade from SyncChat 2.1, follow these steps:
- 1. UNZIP SC.ZIP
- 2. Overwrite these files with the new ones from SC.ZIP
- SYNCCHAT.EXE
- SCONFIG.EXE
- SYNCREG.EXE
- SYNCREG.DOC
- ORDER.TXT
- SYNCCHAT.DOC
- 3. Add the following line to STRINGS.DAT (Line 78):
-
- ngNumber of node to send message to, or hwQnguit : hw
-
-
- 4. If you run Telegard v3.0+, go into SCONFIG, press 'W', and choose
- "Telegard 3.0+" from the list. Then press 'D' and fill out that option
- as well.
