Installing Works 2.00 in the Same Directory as Works 1.x PSS ID Number: Q60773 Article last modified on 04-24-1990 PSS database name: D_WorKs

2.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

When installing a new version of Works, Version 2.00 copies directly over Works Version 1.00 or 1.05. It is not necessary to put Works 2.00 in a separate directory. The user files created in the earlier versions will not be overwritten.

The only difference between Works 2.00 and the earlier versions of Works is that the earlier versions use a screen driver named SCREEN.GSD while Works 2.00 uses a screen driver named SCREEN.VID. Works 2.00 does not read the SCREEN.GSD file and this file can be deleted after the program is installed.
