 Using Mailshot/Reporter With System DeltaPlus v2.00 or Converted v1.xx
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since System DeltaPlus v2.00 (or v1.xx converted using the RISC OS support
disk) has been re-arranged to suit RISC OS, the files on the Mailshot/
Reporter disks need to be copied to the various directories on the disk as
described below if you wish to use both products on the same program disk
(eg. a hard disk). Recent versions of MailShot/Reporter have a utility
called !RISCOS on the disc which performs the necessary changes
automatically; just make a backup of the disc and double-click on this
utility. 

1. The data files should be copied to your working directory, usually the
   root (or $) directory on floppy disks. These are as follows:

          Exams                 Pupils           Teachers
          Setup_1               Setup_2          Setup_3   
          Label                 PD_Blank         PD_FX80

2. The special modules need to be copied to the library directory (usually
   called $.LIBRARY) if they are not already present. These will be:

          TextUtils

3. The resource files should be in the application directory, !Delta. This
   will usually be a sub-directory of the root directory.

          WimpRepFrm            WimpMail
          WimpMR                WimpReport

4. The remaining files are not required as they are already part of System
   DeltaPlus v2.00. These include:

          RAMManager            Delta+          Delta+E
          !Start                !Boot           !Configure
          !Copy                 Info            WimpCIA               
          WimpCIASpr            !Delta          Banner_Spr
          WimpCIAFrm

If the files WimpMail or WimpReport are missing, this is because you do 
not have both the Mailshot AND Reporter modules.

Recommended Method
------------------
The easiest way to achieve the above is to take the following steps:
  A. Make a BACKUP of your Mailshot/Reporter disk.
  B. Insert the BACKUP in drive :0
  C. Delete from it all files referred to in (4) above.
  D. Create new directories by entering:
         *cdir :0.LIBRARY
         *cdir :0.!Delta
  E. Rename all files referred to in (3) above, entering (eg):
         *rename :0.WimpRepFrm :0.!Delta.WimpRepFrm
         *rename :0.WimpMR :0.!Delta.WimpMR
           ...etc.
  F. Rename the module, by entering:
         *rename :0.TextUtils :0.LIBRARY.TextUtils
The disk may now be copied onto any System DeltaPlus v2.00 disk which
already exists. *COPY may be used to do this, depending on the drives used.
To copy from drive :0, do one of:                      
  *COPY :0.* :0.* FR~C~VQP (Single floppy)
  *COPY :0.* :4.* FR~C~VQ  (Hard disk)
  *COPY :0.* :1.* FR~C~VQ  (Dual floppy)
This will convert a System DeltaPlus v2.00 into combined Card Index with
Mailshot and or Reporter on the same disk.

Special Notes:
1. !RISCOS will not delete the files mentioned in (4) above. This should be
done if you are using DeltaPlus v2.00

2. If you are using DeltaPlus v1.xx you should NOT delete the following
files:
          !Start                WimpCIAFrm      Info
          WimpCIA               WimpCIASpr
but instead, copy them into the !Delta directory, replacing what is already
there.
