Incremental Patch from HWGRCS Patch Level 8 to HWGRCS Patch Level 10 ==================================================================== 1. After unpacking this archive you should have two directories: PATCH8TO10BIN PATCH8TO10SRC [There is no patch for the man pages] and this file plus 'SPATCH' and 'HANDLEPATCH' in the current directory. 2. Check if you still have the HWGRCS Patch Level 8 archives as can be found on Aminet. If you don't have them anymore, an unmodifed installation of them will be sufficient, too. "Unmodified" means "as unpacked". These files will not be modified by the patching process. You are safe here. 3. To put the tools 'SPATCH' and 'HANDLEPATCH' ito the path, execute this command when you are in the directory where this file is located: PATH "" ADD 4. You surely have the user package (the binaries). Do this: CD PATCH8TO10BIN InstallPatch [Then follow instructions] CD / [Note: With KS 2.04 you might need to use 'rx InstallPatch'] 5. Archiving the patched result with e.g. lha gives you what would be found in a full release. This step is not automatic as you might not want the full Patch 10 archives. I suggest to create and keep them as backup, though. 6. If you also have the source installed, don't forget this: CD PATCH8TO10SRC InstallPatch [Then follow instructions] CD / [Note: With KS 2.04 you might need to use 'rx InstallPatch'] 7. Archiving the patched result with e.g. lha gives you what would be found in a full release. This step is not automatic as you might not want the full Patch 10 archives. I suggest to create and keep them as backup, though. 8. You have now all the files needed for a full installation of Patch 10. Just copy them to their destination with "XCOPY ALL ..." 9. Try Patch 10 by setting the path and the RCS: Assign correctly. If you are satisfied you could delete your Patch 8 installation. Keep the archives for Patch 8. I cannot say if future patches are based on Patch 8, Patch 10, or whatever. Note that it is likely though that future patches will be based on Patch 10 if Patch 10 turns out to be stable. 10. Tell me about your experiences with the patch process. Good luck Heinz Wrobel
