DrivePro(TM) Upgrade Instructions DrivePro Version 1.17U (Update Version) Micro House continues to update the software and increase its power and flexibility. We are already working on the next update! Suggestions are welcomed. New updates are released on our BBS as completed (about monthly) and will only be available to users who have purchased the DrivePro subscription service ("subscribers"). A new disk containing the most current update at the time is also mailed QUARTERLY to all subscribers. The DrivePro subscription service is inexpensive, and can be ordered from your distributor or directly from us at: 303-443-3389. ---------------------------- | Registration and Updates | ---------------------------- (IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU MUST BOOT WITH A CLEAN SLATE - NO AUTOEXEC OR CONFIG - IN ORDER TO PERFORM REGISTRATION ON SOME SYSTEMS! SHARE.EXE AND SOME OTHER SOFTWARE INTERFERES WITH DRIVEPRO'S REGISTRATION AND UPDATE PROCESS, SUCH AS CAUSING "SHARING VIOLATION") Those who receive an update version on disk must have their older version of DrivePro handy, since the update version verifies user registration from the old disk. YOU MUST HAVE RUN DRIVEPRO ON THE OLD DISK AND DONE THE USER REGISTRATION IN ORDER TO PERFORM THE UPGRADE! Run the update version of DrivePro from the floppy prompt and follow the instructions on-screen. If you downloaded an update version zip file from the Micro House BBS, follow these steps (AGAIN, YOU MUST HAVE RUN DRIVEPRO AND DONE THE USER REGISTRATION ON THE OLD DISK!): 1) Format a blank floppy with the /S switch to put DOS on it, or SYS it after the formatting 2) Copy DRIVEPRO.?? to the new floppy disk, from your current DrivePro disk 3) Copy MH*.* to the new floppy disk from your current DrivePro disk 4) PKUNZIP(TM) the zipped file onto the NEW disk you are making (Don't do it onto the old disk, because you will need it shortly) 5) Run DRIVEPRO on the NEW disk and follow the instructions on-screen. You will need your old disk for user registration purposes 6) The new update of DrivePro will then be ready for use. *** REMEMBER TO READ THE README.TXT FILE FOR THE NEWEST *** *** CHANGES TO DRIVEPRO SINCE THE LAST MANUAL PRINTING *** *** AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON PERFORMING THE *** *** MS-DOS(TM) 6.0 UPGRADE! *** 052892: by DTA - original draft 061093: by VR - 17th update
