Upgrading Voyager

Important notes regarding upgrading

This is DEVELOPMENT software.
If you are unsure what that means to you - you'd better back off now.

No liability will be accepted for any loss of any kind arising from the use of this software. In theory, the only loss you should suffer is a little bit of time, as you can always restore from your backups, right?

This software is provided as-is. No warranty is given as to the correct behaviour of this software.

You do plan to make backups, don't you?
Trust me people - I've recently (end of 2001) lost five partitions on a 2 gigabyte disc. Your first (non-rude) thoughts tend to be trying to recall what you have left. Do you have your main applications? Can you get back on-line? Have you lost ten years of short stories? If you feel your answer to any of this is no then stop reading this rubbish right now, disconnect from the Internet, and start backing stuff up. Onto floppies, onto a spare harddisc... whatever, so long as you have backups.
If you do the weekly with the CD writer, then hey dude - wise!

This software is commercial. I have been granted permission to distribute it. You may not, in any form or for any reason distribute it. Respect Argo's copyright.

You may copy this program as necessary for the purposes of backing up, and also for the purposes of execution of the software.
Additionally you may perform acts necessary to observe, study, or test the functioning of the program (provided those acts do not infringe copyright).
Refer to EEC directive 91/250/EEC.
While Argo/Jason have granted me permission to distribute this software, they do not have control over the my modifications to the software, so they cannot be held in any way liable for anything relating to these releases.
This is not an official Argo-sanctioned upgrade.
The official upgrades are the ones performed with the auto-upgrader. Anything else is a third-party modification, ie, unofficial!.

Finally... DO NOT contact Argo support if you require any assistance with this version of NewsAgent. This is not their release, it is unfair to expect them to support it.

If you require support, send an email to <newsagent@heyrick.co.uk>. Be aware that it may be a while before I get your message. You might find writing me quicker!

The download

You will be required to submit a valid email address in order to download this software. This allows me to keep track of who is using this version of NewsAgent. You will not be entered onto any mailing list. I may contact you by email if something VERY important happens with respect to NewsAgent (or, at least, the version you've downloaded). It hasn't happened yet...

I know some people like to keep their privacy and anonimity. That's fine. No (valid) email address, no download.
Note that the download script verifies the email addresses, so typing something like 'nobody@here' won't work.

The latest version...

Download v0.84 [RickDev/11] now!

Previous versions are available from the 'full version downloads'...

Installing

To install this upgrade:

Back up stuff.
Drag the !Voyager in the archive on top of the one you already have.

That's it in a nutshell. The !Help file in the archive goes into a bit more detail...
