{COMMO} Upgrade Guide
=====================
If you are a previous user of {COMMO}, you will probably want to
retain your customized support files. This guide will help you to
do that and to take advantage of the new features as well.
Instructions will first be given for a general upgrade from any
version 5 release, followed by specific instructions for upgrading
to the most recent release(s).
The file HISTORY contains a complete list of changes, including new
macro functions that may be used to improve your custom macros.
General Upgrade Instructions
----------------------------
1. Replace your old copy of COMMO.COM with the new copy.
2. Keep your old COMMO.SET. See the specific instructions below
for changes required to implement new features.
3. Keep your old COMMO.FON.
4. If you have NOT made any changes to COMMO.MAC, then replace
your old copy with the new copy. If you have made changes,

with the new copies.
Specific Upgrade Instructions - Upgrading to 5.41
-------------------------------------------------
COMMO.SET
=========
The following items have been added to COMMO.SET since release 5.3.
You should add these items whether or not you will be using the new
features. That way you will have them if you need them. Read the
descriptions of all new items in COMMO.DOC.
The following item replaces the "set dszprog" item. You may want to
keep the "dszprog" item if you use COMMOPNS:
{set z_prog,DSZ} Zmodem driver program (DSZ/GSZ/TXZM)
These items are new in the "Video and Chat Mode" section:
{avm=} Alternate video mode (mode,rows,cols)
{edi=yes} Startup editor in insert mode (yes/no)
The items below are new and replace all of the old color items.
Include these instructions as well:
Press F7 to display the color chart.
Then press any key to return to editing.
Most items with two parameters are [text,border].
Items with three parameters are [text,border,selector].

COMMO.MAC
=========
In release 5.4 all of the Macro File menus were replaced with new
menus using the new MENU function. These include the Upload Menu,
Download Menu and Utility Menu. To retain your custom changes to
the Macro File, you should replace the menu sections using a cut and
paste editor.
In release 5.41 macros have been added to allow a variety of
external Zmodem driver programs. These make use of the "set z_prog"
variable shown above. Once these changes are installed, you can
change drivers by simply changing the "z_prog" variable in the Setup
File. Use a cut and paste editor to install the new Zmodem macros,
replacing the macros at the labels "pzbr" and "pzbs".
