UPGRADING FROM 1.00

Here are the steps to upgrade from Iron Ox version 1.00:

1. Back up your IRONOX directory.  (Why?  Either you or the conversion
   utility might make a mistake and the upgrade might not work.  If that
   happens, I'm very happy to help you figure out a solution to the
   problem; if you have a backup of your data files, you probably will
   not have to reset your game.)

2. If you have flagged IRONOX.EXE read-only (recommended for multinode
   systems), unflag it with ATTRIB IRONOX.EXE -R.  This step will allow
   you to overwrite IRONOX.EXE with the new version of the file.  If you
   flagged any other files in the directory read-only, unflag them, too.

3. Unzip IRONOX11.ZIP into your IRONOX directory, overwriting files
   whenever prompted.

4. If you are running multinode, reflag your executable using ATTRIB
   IRONOX.EXE +R.  Why?  The Borland VROOOM overlay manager has a bug
   that causes sharing violations when you run more than one copy of an
   overlaid program at a time.  Flagging the file read-only works around
   this bug.

5. Run the 100TO110.EXE utility to update your old data files.

6. If you wish, run OXConfig to enter new values for Reset Duration and
   Min and Max Game Length.

7. Delete the file called PROMPTS.FIL.  It is no longer needed.

While 1.10 is very different than 1.00, and all of the data file formats
have changed, I know how long a game takes to build up momentum after a
reset, so I don't want systems with existing installations of Iron Ox to
have to reset to go to 1.10.  Please feel free to contact me through any
of the means listed in the Support section of the documentation if you
have any trouble upgrading!
