SyncChat 1.9 Upgrading Instructions
-----------------------------------


Note: Many upgrading procedures require adding lines to your STRINGS.DAT
      file.  If you have not edited this file (or at least don't mind
      recreating any changes you made), you may delete this file.  Then run
      SCONFIG->String Editor and a fully updated STRINGS.DAT will be created
      automatically.  You can then skip the steps that say "Add the following
      lines to your STRINGS.DAT...".


To Upgrade from SyncChat 1.7, follow these steps:

1. UNZIP SC.ZIP
2. Overwrite your current SYNCCHAT.EXE, SCONFIG.EXE, SYNCCHAT.DOC, and
   ORDER.TXT with the corresponding files in SC.ZIP.
3. You will find a new file called SYNCREG.EXE in SC.ZIP.  Be sure to copy
   this to your SyncChat directory. 
   (If you want to mod SyncRegistry source code (Refer to SYNCCHAT.DOC for
   more information on SyncRegistry) - SYNCREG.C and MAKEFILE are included
   in the SC.ZIP file)
   SyncRegistry documentation is included in SYNCREG.DOC, copy this to your
   SyncChat directory for further reference (if needed).
4. Thou art done :)
