C. Upgrading the SunScan system

From time to time, new issues of the software programs in the SunScan system may
be released and offered to existing customers. Brief notes follow for what is
involved in installing them.

The SunData PC s/w

New versions of the PC program file

SunData.exe

will be provided on a floppy

disk. Rename the existing file on your PC's hard disk, then copy the new file across
to the same directory as was previously used.

The Workabout SunData s/w

New versions of the

SunData.app

file (and any other files needed in the Psion),

must be copied across to the Workabout and the application installed. To do this,
you will need to use the

SLINK

or

RCOM

file transfer utilities, or the

PsiWin

program if you have it.

Once you have copied across the new program file, you will need to install the
SunData application as described in the section

More Psion and file handling notes

.

Revision History

Full release versions of hardware, software and documentation are v1.05 or later
(December 1996).

Pre-Release units were issued before this time. A free of charge upgrade has been
offered to all pre-release customers. If you are unsure about the status of your
equipment, please refer to the earlier Technical Support section of this manual for
how to locate version and serial numbers, then contact your agent or Delta-T.
