Updating Your Current Copy of FLU_SHOT+ From The Archive -------------------------------------------------------- If you're already a registered user of FLU_SHOT+, updating to the current version is very easy: since you have already de-arced or de-zipped the archive containing FLU_SHOT+ (or you wouldn't be reading this!), copy the FSP.COM file over to the same directory as your current copy of, using the same name as you had for the earlier release. If you opted to use the name of FLUSHOT.DAT in your C:\ directory, you're finished. If not, you'll have to use the FLU_POKE program to insert the name and directory location of your FLUSHOT.DAT protections file. If you named thge FSP.COM program "NOVIRUS.COM" and named your FLUSHOT.DAT file as "RECIPES.DAT", and both the program and datafile reside in a directory on your C: drive called "MY_STUFF", the command line you'd use would be: C> FLU_POKE C:\MY_STUFF\NOVIRUS.COM You'll then be prompted for the full name of the already existing FLUSHOT.DAT file, and you'd enter "C:\MY_STUFF\RECIPES.DAT" for the above example. That's it! You've updated!
