READNOW.TXT for Norton Navigator 95.0.b Maintenance Release
------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch is for the English release of Norton Navigator only.
This maintenance release adds new features, addresses some compatibility
issues and offers several performance enhancements to Norton Navigator
for Windows 95.
The enhancements include:
╖ Faster Norton File Manager load time.
╖ New integrated viewer pane for Quick View/Quick View Plus
╖ XTree Gold mode
╖ DMF Format utility (supports both format and copy)
╖ User Profile support
╖ File Assist now works with Office 95
╖ Faster common file operations in the Norton File Manager, such as
Move, Copy, and Delete
╖ Faster startup of Windows 95
We are striving to ensure that every Norton Navigator user is satisfied
with their purchase, so we have chosen to address any possible issues now.
How to apply the maintenance release to Norton Navigator 1.0 or 95.0.a
======================================================================
Check the "About box" in Norton File Manager (access from the Help menu)
to see which version you currently have installed. Make sure you have
the correct patch file for that version. NNPATCH will not allow you to
patch the incorrect version.
To perform the upgrade, while in Windows, change to the folder or disk
containing the update files and double-click on the file NNPATCH. The
update can take a long time to complete.
Installing the patch from floppy disks
======================================
To copy the patch files so that you can install them from floppy disks,
copy all the files from the original patch distribution self-extracting
file to 1.44MB floppies in this order:
Disk1:
------
NNPATCH.EXE
PATCH.0
PATCH.DLL
PATCH.INI
PATCH.PIF
READNOW.TXT
Disk2:
------
PATCH.1
To install from this floppy set, insert floppy 1 and double-click on the
file NNPATCH.
Troubleshooting
===============
If the files for the previous version of Norton Navigator do not have their
original date/time stamps, the patch will not update these files.
If you currently have multiple users on the system to be upgraded (User
Profile support is enabled), the original user who installed Norton Navigator
should run the upgrade patch.
Depending on which options you chose when you installed the previous version
of Norton Navigator, some files may be skipped during the patch process.
This is normal behavior and these files will not be necessary if they were not
originally installed. Here is a list of files that can be skipped:
ctl3d32.dll, "Shared 3D support file for Setup" (no longer used)
mailbusi.ctl, "Online Registration"
pipeline.dll, "Online Registration"
pipeline.ini, "Online Registration"
register.inf, "Online Registration"
siwpipl.exe, "Online Registration"
sslib.dll, "Online Registration"
migrate.exe, "Desktop Importer"
migrate.hlp, "Desktop Importer Help"
wnmw16.dll, "Desktop Importer Library"
wnmw32.dll, "Desktop Importer Library"
If you encounter further problems installing the Norton Navigator Maintenance
Release, it could be due to damaged or missing critical Norton Navigator 1.0
or 95.0.a files. To remedy this problem, completely uninstall Norton
Navigator, reinstall from your original disks, and then run the Norton
Navigator 95.0.b Maintenance Release patch program (NNPATCH.EXE).
