VITRON's POPIT INVOICE AND BILLING SYSTEM RELEASE 2.20 NOTES & FEATURES FOR USERS OF VERSION 1.x OF THE SYSTEM -------------------------------------- This release of the PopIt Invoice and Billing System contains new file structures for all of the master files used in the system. It is for this reason that this automated Install program creates a new directory on your hard drive -- \VMCINVR -- where the "R" means "Registered." Page 3 of the User Manual indicates that the install procedure uses and/or creates the \VMCINV directory. For the Registered version of the system, this is NO LONGER the case. As we indicated above, the Install procedure for the registered version creates the \VMCINVR directory. If you are using any 1.x version of the system and you already have data in the files that you want to keep, you should run the CONVERT program after you complete the installation. CONVERT.EXE will be located in the \VMCINVR directory. This CONVERT program will transfer all of your current data from the old file structures used in release 1.x of the system to the new file struc- tures used by version 2.x of the system. DO NOT COPY ANY OF THE FILES USED IN VERSION 1.x OF THE SYSTEM TO THE NEW DIRECTORY USED BY VERSION 2.x OF THE SYSTEM! RUN CONVERT INSTEAD! DO NOT USE THE \VMCINV DIRECTORY AS YOUR TARGET DIRECTORY IF YOU HAVE DATA IN THE MASTER FILES THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP AND TRANSFER OVER TO THE NEW VERSION OF THE SYSTEM! YOU MUST USE THE NEW FILE STRUCTURES IN THE REGISTERED VERSION OF THE SYSTEM, OTHERWISE THE PROGRAM WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY! To run CONVERT, at your DOS prompt first change to the \VMCINVR directory (or to whatever directory you told INSTALL to install the system into). Then, at your DOS prompt, type: CONVERT and press . Follow the prompts that will be displayed on your screen. In addition, version 2.x contains all new UTILity files, which will not have any impact on your current data, but must be used by version 2.x of the system. If you have any questions or conerns, please do not hesitate to call us. Thank you for using our PopIt Invoice and Billing System.
