Subject: RE: upgrading 4.90beta3 to current

Well, I did it the old way again.

I printed out the old config files, and went through the new ones, manually changing lines.

I don't know if there is a wish list for this program or not, but here is mine:

create a generic "Analog" directory (without the version # attached) when extracting the files.

then you could run a setup type program which reads in your settings from the old to the new program, or give you the option of taking a default set of values.

this would help me save time.

P.S. I used the STATUSINCLUDE command for 403, 404, and 408 files and just wanted to say it worked and I was able to use the results favorably.

Thanks. That is what I did as well, when I went from 4.15 to 4.90B2 and also from 4.90B2 to 4.90B3.

I ditched the 4.15 version completely (I can't spend all my time minding 2 of these!).

I was just wondering if there was an easier way. The old fashioned way is to just print out the old config files, and then reenter it into the new ones. This should work as well, but just takes more of what we have so little of: time.

Thanks for your helpful suggestion.

Doug,

I don't know if this is the optimal way of upgrading, but this is what I did.

First, I extracted the 4.90Bx files to a new folder, keeping the 4.15 folder intact.

Then, I loaded the configuration file I was using for 4.15 into my text editor and then loaded the new configuration file from 4.90B3 into my text editor. My text editor has a way of showing two files side by side. I then moved my settings from the 4.15 file to the new file. There are new features in 4.90B3 - I just didn't want to lose any settings I had. I didn't notice any automatic upgrade facility.

Then, I run the program from the new folder. I have kept the older 4.15 folder just in case I encounter problems with the beta.

That's all I did and it works fine. By the way there is a later beta version - 4.90B4.

Richard

Analog is a cross platform application, so it doesn't use any platform specific configurations (registry entries, etc). Just overwrite the old executable file with the new version. If there are any changes in the way Analog handles defaults it will be documented in the What's New section.
