****CMPQwk 1.4L UPDATE****

IMPORTANT!: If you've enabled SOUND in your copy of
1.4 (the voice that tells you how much mail you have) you
MUST download the updated CMPSOUND.ZIP file from the support
sites. DISABLE sound until you do so, or you'll have
many problems. We have changed the sound logic and
the quality of the sound files. DISABLE UseVoice=yes or
get the new sound files.

IMPORTANT!: the internal packer in CMPQwk 1.4k is only
PKZIP 2.x compatible. Support for 1.x requires that you
keep a copy of SHRINK.EXE (shipped in this archive). You
must change the line UseOldPacker=NO to YES to retain
PKZIP 1.1 packing compatibility. But you will lose the
speed and superior compression of the new packer if you
do. You will NOT be able to attach outbound files with the
old packer. You must use the internal packer to get outbound
file attachments.

Note: to use this update you need a REGISTERED working
copy of 1.3 (or later). If you have an earlier version,
procure the upgrade files for 1.31 and install them BEFORE
trying to use this update. IT WILL NOT WORK on versions
earlier than 1.30! Don't try it! You'll be unhappy if
you do.

If you downloaded CMPSOUND.ZIP:

Copy all the new files into the home directory,
and delete the old \SOUND\*.wav files and replace them
with the new files from the updated CMPSOUND.ZIP
file posted on the support sites.

Then either run UPDATE.EXE (it will not copy DUNZIP.DLL
that file is shipped for use in a future option, you should
not have to install it unless you have to go back to a
prior Alpha---some users may require it. Leave it out
and only install it if you get a message: CAN'T FIND
DUNZIP.DLL.

If you are using 1.3x and you DO NOT run UPDATE.EXE your
personal dictionary will not get converted. If you are
using 1.4x (any flavor) your personal dictionary is in
the current format and will work fine.

---Manual update instructions---

1.4 Users:

If you are using a 1.4 beta, you need only copy the new files
into the home directory and you're finished.

1.3 Users:

You MUST run UPDATE.EXE or follow the manual directions
below. Running UPDATE is the preferred method, but you
can manually update your install.

BEFORE running this version for the first time, you must
delete the following files (if they exist on your system).
Some files may not exist on all systems. If you beta-tested
for us you may have them all. If you don't have a file,
don't worry, because then you don't have to delete it.

PRIVATE.DIC
PRIVATE.BAK
PERSONAL.DIC
CMPDICT.* (all CMPDICT.any files)
Contents of the \SAV directory.
Contents (if any) of the \WORK directory
Any DLL's numbered from 001-010 that may be
in your \windows\system directory.

Note: if you picked "QUICK EXIT" the last time you ran the
program, you MUST re-start it (re-opening your last packet
in the process) and select "EXIT" prior to running this
release. Failure to do so will cause you much heartache,
so go ahead and do that now...and then delete the contents
of the \SAV directory.

To update your copy, all you need do (after complying with
the notes above) is copy the updated files to your \CMPQWK
home directory. Make sure the program IS NOT RUNNING when
you do this.

Notes:

You must have a working copy of 1.30 or 1.31 to use this
update.

Please see the documentation for ways to reach us via
various networks, CIS, etc.

Please note that Grant Willey, sysop of The Dataphile
BBS has requested that users calling there wishing to
download updates must log on. You can't use the anonymous
CMPQWK USER account on The Dataphile, you must sign-on
as a new user to call Grant's system. No fees are involved,
you must just enter your real name and phone numbers.

The Patchbay BBS still has the "faceless" account (instructions
in the prelog screen when you call), and registration is
not required to download updates from that system.

Neither BBS accepts "handles" if you want to register as
a user. You must use your real name.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change causes
for you.
