Updating JFile

 

Updating From JFile 4 to JFile 5:

JFile 4 and JFile 5 can be on the device at the same time.   If you decide to continue to use JFile 5, after converting all your older databases, you can then delete the older JFile 4 version from the device.

To convert your existing older JFile .pdb files into JFile 5 format, install the .pdb file(s) to the Palm device (or if they are already on the PalmOS device) and upon launching JFile 5, you will be asked if you’d like to convert the databases automatically for you into the latest format.

 Updating From JFile 3 to JFile 5:

Installing JFile 5 will overwrite JFile 3 on your device.  It will also ask if you would like your older databases converted into the new format during your first launch of JFile 5.

 To Third Party utility users with JFile version 5:

Because of the new structure of JFile 5 databases, you will need to insure that any third party utility (such as those listed at http://www.land-j.com/jfileu.html ) that you use have been updated to properly handle the JFile 5 format.   If you require a specific third party utility that only supports JFile 4, you can continue to use JFile 4, and update to JFile 5 at a future time when the application you require has been updated by the developer to support the JFile 5 format.
