In this documentation we have assumed that Wildcat! has been installed on drive d: in the directory wc5 resulting in the fact that the default wildcat directory is d:\wc5, as this is how our development system is set up. Your system may not be set up like this.
To upgrade from v1.00c to v1.00d you should proceed as follows:-
- Unzip the archive into a temporary directory.
- Copy the file html-skdayquote.wcx to your default wildcat directory.
- Modify the data\skware.cfg configuration file as per the section on configuration. Please note the the ServerLog parameter as been droped.
- Apply any changes you made the the old header/footer templates to the new template file http\skware\template\dayq\main.htm
- Finally you can delete the following files as they are no longer requirted:-
- data\skdayquote.cfg
- http\skware_templates\skdayquote_html_footer.htm
- http\skware_templates\skdayquote_html_header.htm
To upgrade from v1.00b to v1.00c you should proceed as follows:-
- Unzip the archive into a temporary directory.
- Copy the file html-skdayquote.wcx to your default wildcat directory.
- As all of the header & footer templates have been modified to reflect the version change you can either copy them to the skware\templates directory or elect not to. You must remember that if you do copy across the new templates any changes you have made will be lost.
To upgrade from v1.00a to v1.00b you should proceed as follows:-

- Unzip the package skdq100d.zip into a temporary directory with a 32 bit unzip program such as unzip as shipped with WildCat.

- html-skdayquote.wcx
- The rest of the files supplied in the package are in relative directories and should be moved as follows:-
Source Directory Example Destination Directory data d:\wc5\data http\skware\ol_docs\dayq d:\wc5\http\skware\ol_docs\dayq http\skware\template\dayq d:\wc5\http\skware\template\dayq - Next you should edit the configuration file skware.cfg as explained in the section on the configuration file.

The operation of the program is controlled by the configuration file. This configuration file is called skware.cfg and must be in your WildCat data directory (d:\wc5\data). This file is in the process of being setup so that it is shared by all of skWare's programs as the single source of configuration information. An example file has been shipped with the package called skware.cfg.dist which can be used as an example.
