INSTALLATION NOTES:
There are two ways to install the patched files:
Full Installation An automated procedure to install all patches
Partial Installation A manual procedure to install selected patches
FULL INSTALLATION
=================
This procedure creates a full release image which is subsequently
installed over a current installation in much the same way as you
would upgrade or reinstall a regular CD-ROM release.
If you wish to patch several systems, you can create the release
image on a shared directory and install it on each system over the
network.
1. Create a release image by copying the original PATHWORKS 32
V7.1A CD-ROM to a shared directory.
2. Unzip the patch kit (PW32_71A_ECO1.ZIP) to a temporary directory
and copy it over the release image. You may also be able to
unzip the patch directory directly over the release image.
Make sure you retain the directory structure of the unzipped
files.
3. Run autoplay.exe in the root of the release image and follow
the instructions as you would a normal installation to reinstall
PATHWORKS 32.
4. Restart your system.
PARTIAL INSTALLATION
====================
If you wish to install just the PowerTerm Euro or eXcursion Euro
updates, you can do so by running SETUP.EXE from the PTW\INTEL or
PTW\ALPHA directory for PowerTerm or run SETUP.EXE from the
follow the directions below:
1. Unzip the patch kit (PW32_71A_ECO1.ZIP) into a temporary
directory. Make sure you retain the directory structure
of the unzipped files.
2. Read the patch descriptions below to determine which files
you require. The descriptions will tell you where the files
are located in the patch directory and where they normally
reside in an installed system.
3. Copy the selected files from the patch directory to your
system.
4. Restart your system.
