[ct-user] Downloading CT program updates

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

There seems to be some confusion about installing the CT program updates 
(i.e. CT 9.46).  Since I have answered the same question twice today, I 
will try to explain it a little better.

The update file from the CT Vault contains *only* the CT program itself 
(CT.EXE) and the latest release notes.  It is *not* a full installation 
copy.  Rather, it is supposed to be installed into an existing CT directory 
which was created by installing the software from the original floppy 
disk.  It is NOT meant to stand alone.  There are too many other support 
files that CT requires to put CT.EXE into its own directory and expect it 
to work.

When you are installing the update, it may make sense to first rename your 
old CT.EXE, for example:

	rename CT.EXE CT939.EXE

That way if there is a problem with the new program update, you can return 
to using the old program.

This isn't Windows where the installations automatically do everything for 
you.  This is DOS.
