The upgrade has several command line parameters that can be used to preform different operations. The most common option would be to run the upgrade without any parameters, but the option is given if u need if for a certain reason. The folowing is from running "upgrade help": Command line Switches. force - Forces upgrade to run unconditionally. users - Runs user upgrade only. * config - Runs configuration upgrade only. bbslist - Runs bbslist upgrade only. * strings - Runs string upgrade only. * extra - Prints out extended upgrade info. path - Asks for data path help - Displays this help menu. *(must be in data directory) force - This parameter forces iniquity to run the upgrade even if a older version then 2.00 is not detected. There should be no reason to run the upgrade in this fashion unless u know your version is older then 2.00 but the upgrade is refusing to run, not detecting an older version. users - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the user file to the new format. Everything else is left untouched. An example of this would be if you were returning to a back up of your user file for some reason. config - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the iniquity.dat to the new format. Everything else is left untouched. An example of this would be if you were returning to a back up of your iniquity.dat for some reason. bbslist - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the bbs list to it's new format. Everything else is left untouched. An example of this would be if you were returning to a back up of your bbs list for some reason. strings - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the strings to there new format. Everything else is left untouched. An example of this would be if you were returning to a back up of your strings for some reason. path - This parameter prompts you for the directory to iniquity's data directory, giving you the ability to upgrade your old installation if its not in the current directory. extra - This parameter gives extra information of what is being upgraded. EG. insted of just saying bbslist upgraded it goes through each name of each bbs and prints it on screen. help - Well this is pretty self explanatory don't u think?
