New: XyWWWeb U2 Update Utility



U2update.exe is a Windows command-line utility that automates downloading and installing updates to
the XyWWWeb Jumbo U2. With it you can check whether a U2 update is available, download the updated
files for review and, if and when you choose, install the update. Earlier versions of your files are
automatically backed up. You can download U2update.exe here:

In normal use, U2update.exe is located in the directory with EDITOR.EXE. For trial purposes,
however, you may prefer to set up a sandbox in a new, empty directory, apart from your XyWrite
setup, and play around with the various options there. The only file you'll need for testing
purposes is U2update.exe. Here's the usage:

U2update.exe /? [or no argument]

U2update.exe /C

U2update.exe /D

U2update.exe /A

Updated files are saved to a staging subdirectory, named .\U2UPDATE, where ZIP backups of previous
updates are also stored. From that subdirectory, you can review the latest update and decide at your
leisure whether you wish to install it. The revision history, changelog.pdf, summarizes recent
additions and revisions. (Needless to say, to "apply" an update, U2update.exe must located
in the directory with EDITOR.EXE.)

U2update.exe can automate a first-time U2 installation. New users will also need to modify
STARTUP.INT and the .KBD file. See readme-u2.pdf for detailed instructions.
