- UPDATE: Version 3.000x
- [International version of SERVICE PLUS [TM]]
-
- If you have a floppy based system, call me between 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. CST on
- any weekday to complete this conversion.
-
-
- Methodology for updating your version: [hard disks only]
- if your version is version 2.645 or after
-
- This update methodology assumes that you are updating from ANY earlier
- version of SERVICE PLUS [TM] that has the ability to AUTOMATICALLY back up
- your data when you exit the program.
-
- Make a backup of the data for SERVICE PLUS [TM] by exiting your current
- version of the program and selecting the backup function. Once out of the
- program, enter 'BACKUP' from your hard drive to place today's current data
- onto a data disk reserved for this purpose. Place a write-protect tab onto
- that disk and, if space permits, create a second subdirectory: '\ACS'.
- Then copy EVERYTHING from '\SERVICE' to '\ACS'. Once done, delete every
- file in '\SERVICE' and then delete the directory entry itself with this
- command:
-
- RMDIR SERVICE
-
- Observe the files on your data disk, where the backup up data is kept.
- Let's say the file containing today's backup is: '0520ACS.ARC' This means
- that you performed the backup on month '05', day '20', or May 20th.
-
- Take the new version of SERVICE PLUS [TM] and install it onto your hard
- drive as per the instructions in 'GO' and 'GO2'. Once installed but BEFORE
- you execute 'SERVICE', replace the 'GO2' disk in drive A with the data
- backup disk. Then, from your hard drive, enter this command:
-
- PKXARC -R A:0520ACS.ARC
-
- This will take all of your data from the most recent backup and restore it
- to your hard drive. As a final step, delete all files ending in 'NTX', if
- any, with this command:
- DEL *.NTX
-
- Then execute 'SERVICE' from your subdirectory and, after the initial
- installation process, you should be greeted as a Registered User. If not,
- repeat this entire process ONCE. If you are still not greeted as
- Registered, then call me.
-
- Retain the subdirectory '\ACS' for a few days until you are certain that
- the upgrade in '\SERVICE' was successful. Once you are satisfied of that,
- delete everything in '\ACS'.
-
-
- Methodology for updating your version: [hard disks only]
- if your version is prior to version 2.645
-
- Copy all files ending in the letters 'DBF' and 'DBT', if any, to a floppy
- disk on drive A. Place a write protect tab on that disk. This is now your
- 'Backup' disk. If you have a subdirectory called '\SERVICE', delete
- everything in that directory and then the directory itself with this
- command:
-
- RMDIR SERVICE
-
- Take the new version of SERVICE PLUS [TM] and install it onto your hard
- drive as per the instructions in 'GO' and 'GO2'. Once installed but BEFORE
- you execute 'SERVICE', replace the 'GO2' disk in drive A with the data
- backup disk. Then, from your hard drive, '\SERVICE', enter this command:
-
- COPY A:*.DBF
- COPY A:*.DBT [if any]
-
- This will take all of your data from the most recent backup and restore it
- to your hard drive. As a final step, delete all files ending in 'NTX', if
- any, with this command:
- DEL *.NTX
-
- Then execute 'SERVICE' from your subdirectory and, after the initial
- installation process, you should be greeted as a Registered User. If not,
- repeat this entire process ONCE. If you are still not greeted as
- Registered, then call me.
