*** UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TKNET VERSION 1.0 ***

                31st January, 1996

The installation procedure allows you to maintain most of 
the information from your current setup to the new setup.  
In future releases even more information will be retained.

The major change to version 1.0 is the addition of a new setup
file, called tknet.scripts.  This file contains the list of
connect and disconnect scripts which are used by TkNet.  This
does away with the connect and disconnect commands which were
previously saved in the tknet.setup file.  

How to upgrade:

(1) Unpack the tar file in the root directory.

This will extract the new version of TkNet into
/usr/local/bin, over the previous version (hence if you have
made any changes, save the old one so you can transfer the 
changes to the upgrade if necessary).  It does *not* replace
your tknet.setup, tknet.preferences and tknet.launcher files.
It does, however, replace tknet.help.

(2) As root, start up TkNet.

Note the new menu items under Options.  Open the Scripts setup
window and enter the script information for your setup(s).  
Help is available.  Save the script information to the global
file and exit the script setup screen.  You should now see 
your new entries under the File menu and on the pop-up menu.
Open the Setup window, review the entries (note the link
configuration has changed, it now takes ppp or sl0 etc.)
and save.  Repeat with the launcher.  You should find that 
TkNet has recognised most of your previous setup.  Again,
help is available.

Recommended, but not essential:  ask each user to review
his/her own settings.  Deletion of the personal configuration
files may be a good idea, but note that any configuration 
information not already in their current setup files will be
picked up from the global files anyway.

And that should be it!  If you have any concerns or corrections
to make to this document, let me know.
