Send a request via Internet to "harchon@centruyinter.net" or call Blackbeard's BBS (see support.doc) To upgrade your ULP system from a previous version, read the following brief instructions, in order, from the version you are running to the current version. Note that versions before 2.25 are no longer supported. Please upgrade if you want support. I strongly suggest you read through the HISTORY.DOC as well, which provides detailed information on the changes and bugs fixed over the course of ULP's development; also read the FAQ.DOC file for answers to the most commonly asked questions. In general, to install new versions, start by copying the new executables and documentation over your old files. For 1.x versions, take care to not overwrite your ULP configuration files with the samples! Version 2.28 Same as 2.21-2.27 *except* that there is no OS/2 version since I can't compile one at present. If you are using ULP/2, you will need to switch to the DOS version to use this version. See READ.1ST file for information on switching. Version 2.21 through 2.27: No configuration file adjustments are required. Copy the EXE's and ULPSM.HLP over previous versions. Version 2.20: You must run UPDATE.EXE included in the ULPU_220.ZIP archive to update your configuration file(s) to the new 2.20 format. This archive also contains sample user and sysop message templates for the new messaging subsystem. You must also rename your process data file in your ULP subdirectory to the same base filename as your configuration file except with the extension ".PDT". For example, if your old process data file was named "PROCESS.DAT" and your ULP configuration file is named "ULP.CFG", rename "PROCESS.DAT" to "ULP.PDT". Alternately, just re-initialize the process data file with ULPSM. Version 2.13: No configuration file adjustments are required. Version 2.12: No configuration file adjustments are required. However, if you installed 2.11 before it was recalled, go into the "virus/file checkers" menu, pick one (any one) of your file checkers and press F10. This will reset defective data created when adjustments were made with ULPSM 2.11. Version 2.11: The new "run time" flags for the virus, GIF and JPEG checkers must be set. If you installed ULP prior to 2.11, these will be disabled ('N') and must be enabled ('O', 'E' or 'B') if you want the associated checkers executed. The new "process nested subdirectories" flag must be set. If you installed ULP prior to 2.11, this will be defaulted off ('N'). It should be turned on ('Y') for proper operation of ULP. Version 2.10: No configuration file adjustments are required unless you wish to repack nested archives as ULP did before. If so, set the "repack nested archives" flag to 'Y'. Version 2.05: Add "@FILE@" to the end of your text and graphical editor command strings. Version 2.04: No configuration file adjustments are required. Version 2.03: If you are using the FOSSIL interface of ULP for online testing, you must alter your PCBTEST.BAT command line, as the functionality of the -X command line switch has changed. It now does not require a port number, as ULP will decipher the port number from the door drop file. For most sysops using the FOSSIL interface, simply using -X is sufficient. Refer to the documentation for more information. The new "process nested archives" and "process nested GIF/JPEG files" flags must be set. If you installed prior to 2.03, these will be defaulted off ('N'). I strongly recommend turning them both on ('Y'). If JPEG file checking is desired and you installed prior to this release, you should reset the desired limits for JPEG via ULPSM. Version 2.02: No configuration file adjustments are required. Version 2.01: Use ULPSM and either set up all of your upload directory sets to the proper conference assignments or disable the conference assignment. Currently, without making this adjustment, all upload directory sets are now defined as the main board conference (conference 0). Version 2.00: Re-installation from scratch is required; there is no update utility included in the distribution archive. You must install ULP 2.00 into a new subdirectory; do not copy over your 1.x files. If you are a registered user of ULP, copy your existing ULP.KEY file into the new ULP 2.00 subdirectory. Follow the installation instructions in the ULP.DOC file to use the new automatic installation system that is built into ULPSM. This system generates a working configuration file and all required external configuration files, leaving only the documented adjustments to complete your setup. Once you have fully configured ULP 2.00, copy your existing ULP duplication database files to your 2.00 subdirectory. Do not copy your old BBS ads database or process data file to your ULP 2.00 subdirectory, as they are not compatible. * NOTE: If you have a lot of work invested in your ULP configuration (e.g. a large number of upload directories), download the file ULP_1TO2.ZIP, which contains the necessary update files for updating from 1.1x to 2.00. However, for most sysops, updating in this fashion will be much more effort and error-prone than using ULPSM's automatic installation!
