RemoteAccess Manager v2.10 - Upgrade Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To upgrade to RAMAN 2.10 from 2.10/GAMMA do the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Copy the new .EXE files over the old ones.
To upgrade to RAMAN 2.10 from 2.00 or 2.01 do the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Run 200TO210.EXE to convert your existing configuration. You must pass
the filename of the configuration file to convert as the first parameter.
A resulting file with the extension of .NEW will be created, and your
original file will remain intact.
2) Run RAMANCFG to initialize new fields and to reconfigure options that
could not be converted. Take a few minutes to browse around to see
what is new.
3) If you have an RAMAN.MSG file present from a previous version,
delete it NOW.
A note about the new RAMAN configuration system is in order. As RA now
supports 65535 file areas, it is both impractical and a waste for RAMANCFG
to store information about 65535 file areas in the configuration file,
especially since there would be very few, if any, who would use that many
file areas. To compensate, the configuration file is dynamically maintained
in that information about only file areas defined *when RAMANCFG was last
run* is stored. This saves memory, diskspace, and speed. It also will
present a minor problem. If you add file areas in RACONFIG, you MUST run
RAMANCFG afterwards so it can update the RAMAN configuration file with
information about the presence of new file areas. If you do not run
RAMANCFG after adding file areas, RAMAN will simply ignore any of the new
file areas you have created. Conversly, if you remove areas from FILES.RA
or have a utility that "packs" FILES.RA and you end up with fewer file
areas, RAMANCFG will decrease the size of the configuration file accordingly.
