Upgrading FileBUDDY From Previous Versions ========================================== If you are presently using FileBUDDY, please make sure to upgrade FileBUDDY with the installation program (ie. INSTALL.EXE) since your existing FBUDDY.INI file may need to be modified. If for some reason you do not want to use the installation program, make the following manual changes to your FBUDDY.INI file: Upgrading From v1.00-v1.01 To v2.00-2.02 ---------------------------------------- >> Please add the following changes: 1. Insert "TabSpaces=8" after "MouseLBSS". (This parameter does not need to be added if a default of 8 spaces for the TAB character is satisfactory.) 2. Insert "ExitOnEsc=1" after "TabSpaces=8". 3. Insert "ArcDefault=" after "Editor" 4. Insert "SlideShowPause=10" after "VRam1024". 5. Insert "ImageRestore=0" after "SlideShowPause" 6. Insert "ImageCsrRes=100" after "ImageRestore". 7. Increment whatever the value of "ImagePrtMode" is by ONE. 8. Delete parameter "ImageOrient". Upgrading From v2.00-v2.02 To v3.00-v3.01 ----------------------------------------- >> After the "[INITIALIZATION]" parameters, add the following three lines: [DEFINE] OtherArcExt= FileEOLChar= Note: The "ArcDefault" parameter located under [PATHS] has been renamed to "OtherArcExt". Place the renamed version under the [DEFINE] heading. If "ArcDefault" has any assignments, they should be modified from this format: ArcDefault=LZH:QWK,BAK,DIF to the following format: OtherArcExt=LZH:QWK,LZH:BAK,LZH:DIF >> After the "[PATHS]" parameters, add the following seven lines: [ARCHIVE] Compression=1 SFXModel=2 MoveFiles=0 [DBF] DBFPackBackup=1 >> If you are using PKZIP as one of your archivers, please change the archiver name from PKUNZIP.EXE to PKZIP.EXE in your ZIP parameter assignment. Upgrading from v3.00-v3.01 to v3.02 ----------------------------------- >> Delete the "MoveFiles" parameter from your FBUDDY.INI file. The parameter is no longer needed as you are now prompted for this before archiving files. Upgrading from v3.02 to v3.03 ----------------------------- >> No changes to the FBUDDY.INI file. Note ---- >> Although it may appear that the order and case of FBUDDY.INI's parameters are important, they are NOT. However, don't delete the headers (ie. "[ARCHIVE]") if you plan to upgrade to future versions of FileBUDDY using the installation program. Happy viewing!
