Portfolio Updates
|
The following portfolios are
provided to facilitate Unfair Advantage users' use of third party
software. Please save to "c:\ua\archives\portfile.adm".
|
Software Upgrades
|
UA is undergoing some rapid
changes and seemingly unrelated features are sometimes broken or behave
differently than expected. Be sure to always make a backup copy your UA
directory (normally copy c:\ua to c:\uaold). so that you can back out
of unpleasant changes.
It is
generally not possible to overwrite a new version with an old
version. Always install these on top of your old versions, do not
uninstall your old version.
After
upgrading, a successful data download is necessary to gain total access
to market history.
Upgrades are cumulative, so the latest includes all fixes which were in
previous upgrades.
A $20.00 charge for replacement upgrade
discs may
apply
Note:
Running
UA loads certain DLL files into your computer's memory, which may be
replaced in the newer version. To assure that outdated DLL files do not
interfere with UA, please shut down and restart your computer before
installing an upgrade, and
again before running the upgraded program.
|
*** Important Uninstall Notice ***
|
UA's
uninstall function should only be used if UA is stored in it's own
subdirectory (probably C:\UA). Do not use uninstall if the
software was installed in the root directory on any of your drives (ex.
c:\ or d:\). Always back up your hard drive before
uninstalling any software products from your computer. |
