I just received my new manuals and maintenance release for TSE
Pro 2.5.  Haven't really had time to do anything with them yet,
but the new, integrated, complete manuals will be great.
I note that the WHATSNEW.DOC file has a detailed recipe for
converting from TSEPRO 2.0 to 2.5.  It would be nice to also have
a detailed recipe for accomplishing the maintenance release
upgrade from 2.50a . . . to 2.50e (Perhaps I should RTFM; I
haven't looked in the paper book yet).  If it's there, then it
would be nice if the READ.ME file would point to it.
I know, I should know how to do it.  And in fact I do, in some
sense.  But anything I have to do that I haven't done for more
than a month has had the details fade from memory.  And while
what I've done with previous maintenance releases has "worked"
I'm not positively sure that I've actually done it completely
correctly.  With unimportant stuff, it's small loss if an error
is made.  But in accomplishing an upgrade, there are too many
ways to do real damage.
Is it a valid procedure to just install to the existing TSE
directory and let the install program do everything
automatically?  Without an explicit statement to that effect, I'm
reluctant to try.  It, of course, installs nicely to a new/
different location, which I always do first just to check out
that the installation disk is ok.  Then I do a backup (copy
new/newer) to my current TSE directory (backing it all up first
of course), and then burn-in TSE.UI and TSE.CFG.  Then I
recompile all my macros, including re-recompiling the ones that
came as .mac files in the maintenance release (The batch file
just compiles/recompiles *.s).  That seems to do it, but as an
unsophisticated computer user, I'm never quite sure.
