1. Preserving user files when upgrading an existing version of VLW2 

1.1 Upgrading from VLW1: 

To transfer over your existing VLW1 settings after VLW2 installation, copy the following files from your VIEWLOG Version 1 directory into the VIEWLOG2 main directory: 

Viewlog.pgt 	User defined page templates 
Viewlog.lgt	User defined log format templates 
Viewlog.lsm	Lithology symbols 
Viewlog.eqn	User defined log equations 

1.2 Upgrading an existing copy of VLW2 

During installation you will be presented with an option to backup files which are overwritten.  Selecting this option will allow you to "roll back" the installation using the uninstall function. 

To preserve any user defined log equations, user drawn lithology symbols or log format templates, uncheck the User Templates and Custom Files option group during installation.

2. VLW2 Beta Notes: 

THIS IS A LIMITED VERSION BETA RELEASE. 
This version of VLW2 offers all the functionality of the VLW1 program, but, for file format compatibility, does not offer many of the planned VLW2 functions. 

File Format Compatibility: This version of the beta is file format compatible with VLW1 (VIEWLOG Version 1 build 105). This means the files created in VLW2 can be read in VLW1 and vice versa. The final release of VLW2 will use a new file format, but will be backwards compatible with VLW1, of course. A number of new features in VLW2 are not available (hidden).
  
Installing both VLW1 and VLW2: Both VLW1 and VLW2 can be installed on the same computer, however then should be in placed different subdirectories. 

Bug Reports: Please report any bugs to: dirk@viewlog.com Please include the problem files and a brief description of the problem.
