PLEASE READ THIS FILE BEFORE RUNNING FNUPGRADE

The program FnUpGrade is for upgrading FreeNote v2.xx
database to the new v3.00 database structure.

If you are upgrading to FreeNote version 3.00, and you
wish to transfer your existing notes to the new database,
you will need to run FnUpGrade *once only* for each of
the files you wish to convert for use with FreeNote v3.00

USING FnUpGrade
The upgrader program is a zero instal program. Just copy
FnUpGrade.opo to any folder, and double tap on the
file to run.

Select the file you wish to convert from the dialog box
(with an .fn1 file extension) and tap the Y button 
(or press keyboard Y).
The notes held within the selected file will be transferred
to the new database for use with FreeNote v3.00

You are required to run this program *once* for each file
you wish to convert.

If you have not yet run FreeNote v3.00, FnUpGrade will
create the new database for you. If you have already been
using FreeNote v3.00, and now wish to transfer your notes
from FreeNote v2.xx, FnUpGrade will add your notes to the
existing v3.00 database.

Your original database will be left intact after running
FnUpGrade. After your files have been transferred, it is
no longer necessary to have FnUpgrade on your computer, and
can be safely deleted.


AUTHOR NOTES
I have made the upgrader a simple console program, because
I didn't consider it worth spending a lot of time and
effort developing nice fancy graphics for a program that
for many users will be probably run once for just a few
seconds.

 
During tests on a Series 7, the upgrader converted 
20 records in just one second!
