The following information is very important for people upgrading from an earlier version of FOOD FIGHT to this version. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. General upgrade rules: For most upgrades, you only need to alter the configuration file as needed, and copy FOODFITE.EXE, FFMAINT.EXE and FFBULL.EXE into your Food Fight subdirectory. This will ensure that your player and statistics data file do not get corrupted. Most upgrades will be seamless as far as your callers are concerned. They will simply see new features appear, and a few things change. Also, make sure that you make FFUSER.DOC available for download for your callers. This has complete players information, including new features. ************************************************************** IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 TO 4.6 ************************************************************** 1.
