Upgrade Information
BACKUP YOUR DATA FILES FIRST!
Versions 7.50 and before:
You must have at least 2.5 times the size of the DAT file free to upgrade
(ie UNICORN.DAT is 100K, you must have 250K free to upgrade on the same
disk). When complete the new data file will only require about 75% of the
space the old file required.
Run the INSTALL program, installing the new version onto the same drive and
directory as the old one.
Start the program and when the Default SetUp screen appears, enter the word
UPGRADE (all CAPS!) in the File Name block. Then hit [PgDn].
You will be asked if you want to back up the old data files to floppy, or
leave on the existing drive. You MUST have a disk formatted and ready
before telling the program to back up the files to it.
Versions 8.00 & After:
Run the INSTALL program, installing the new version onto the same drive and
directory as the old one.
Registered Users have the option of sending their data files to Unicorn
Software (along with $1 for P&H) and having us upgrade the file for you.
