NOTES:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
a) When will run D.D.DeLUXE V5.0, you will have to re-configure it because
|
|
V5.0 do not use the same configuration file as previous versions.
|
|
|
|
b) If you use the loading file "D.D.DELUXE.LOAD", you must replace it by the
|
|
new one.
|
|
|
|
c) All DDD files packed with V4.0, V4.1, V4.2, V4.2a are compatible with
|
|
D.D.DeLUXE V5.0.
|
|
|
|
d) To unpack old DDD 2.1 files (disk packed with PBH, DDD Pro, and other
|
|
DDD 2.1 comptabile program), you proceed the same way you do with
|
|
D.D.DeLUXE DDD files.
|
|
|
|
e) When you unpack an old DDD 2.1 file, there is no guarantee the unpacked
|
|
disk is exactly the same as the original disk because there is no checksum
|
|
in the old DDD file. But if you unpack a new DDD file (type $DD, with
|
|
message in the file), if D.D.DeLUXE unpack without checksum error, you can
|
|
be sure your unpacked disk is exactly the same as the original disk.
|
|
|
|
f) The documentation has been updated for V5.0 now.
|
|
|
|
g) If you have an Apple //gs, please replace your old icon file by the new
|
|
one (DDDELUXE.ICONS) in the ICON folder.
