PCBoard v14.5 installation instructions
=======================================
The INSTALL program can be used to either install a brand new copy of PCBoard
or to upgrade an existing PCBoard v14.x installation to v14.5.
You may install the software using either of two methods:
1) Using PCBoard distribution disks:
Run the INSTALL program on the first disk.
2) Copy all of the PCBoard files into a subdirectory on your hard disk or
your network server's hard disk.
Run the INSTALL program from there.
For a list of features that are new in going from PCBoard v14.2 to v14.5
please read the file entitled FEATURES.NEW which can be found on disk #3.
A special version of PCBoard called the "VROOM Overlay" version which
utilizes Borland International's VROOM technology is available on the
Salt Air BBS. The major difference between it and what is found on these
distribution diskettes is that the "VROOM Overlay" version requires about
80K less memory to operate and can be configured to use even less.
The following information is in addition to what is found in your printed
manual:
- Added /NOPROMOTE to the SET PCB= environment. It can be used for
those who do not wish to allow the new "auto promote" to batch
file transfer capability in v14.5. (i.e. with /NOPROMOTE the "D" and
"U" commands will default to SINGLE FILE entry).
- On disk #3 you will find a file called 10DAT142.ZIP which is a ZIP
(compressed file) containing instructions and a couple of programs
graciously donated by Gary Meeker to convert PCBoard v10.0 setups
to the version 14.2 format. After running the program it should be
a simple matter of running the INSTALL program on these disks to
convert from v14.2 to v14.5.
- Disk #4 contains a file called PCBCONV.DOC which describes the
conversion process from v11.x and v12.x systems up to the v14.x
formats. In same cases it may actually be easier to set up a
brand new v14.5 system and move your v11.x or v12.x users across.
