    NOTES BUILD INSTALLATION HINTS

==========================================================================

When a Mach4 update is installed, all of the 
default screen sets and default profiles WILL
be overwritten. This will cause your customized
configuration to be lost if it is still stored
with the default name.

Saving your custom work is usually desirable,
but don't ignore the new default profiles and
screens. They often add major new features to
the system. In order to take advantage of the
new features you will need to start with the
new defaults and redo your customization.

In order to make sure that you do not lose any
of your configuration you should have your
profile saved with a name different from the
default. For example, if you have customized
the Mach4Mill profile, you should use the 
Mach4Loader icon on your desktop to copy the
version of Mach4Mill that you are using and
save it as a new profile with a new name. This
will create a new folder with that name inside
the Profiles folder in Mach4Hobby folder. Your
new profile folder will contain ALMOST everything
that is custom about your configuration. Things
that may not be there are:

1) Any CUSTOMIZED screen set. These are stored
   in the Screens folder in the Mach4Hobby folder.
   If you have edited one of the default screens
   you NEED to back this up, or better yet, you
   should copy it to a file with a new name and
   edit your configuration to use the newly named
   screen set.

2) Any LUA modules that have been modified. If
   you do not know what this means, then you have
   not modified any of them. Installing a package
   from an OEM vendor (such as a plasma screen set)
   may have added modules to your system.

3) PMC configuration files (programmable logic
   controller). If you have not edited any PMC
   configurations, then you need not worry.

4) Screen set items such as groups or tabs that 
   have been exported for reuse.
