[Dx4win] Upgrade info?

Fri, 31 Jan 2003 10:21:24 +0200

Let me make a recommendation:

Don't merge the old CTY file to the new one! Do it vice verse! Put your old
CTY file into the new 6.01 Save directory and merge the new CTY file to it.

This way the Country settings will be kept correct. E.g. BUREAU (Y/N). I
have changed the BUREAU flags for many countries in my old CTY file
(somebody once sent a posting to the reflector on needed changes to bring
this buro thing up to date) and those flags are not coming over to the new
file by merging the old file to the new one.

Are there any shortcomings in merging it the other way around? I did not
notice.
