v1.1 to v2.0

[svironmen24]

Is there a way to use my version 1.1 sequences in version 2.0? I'm using an old computer and didn't think that it would support 2.0, but after being adventerous I found out that it does work. Of course, i've already made my sequences for this year in 1.1. Can I upgrade them to 2.0? Thanks in advance.

This is normally done when you install 2.0 over 1.1m but if you put 2.0 in a new folder, it doesn't upgrade the sequences.

Do this
extract prepare.exe from the vixen 2.0 zip file and put it in the vixen folder.
put your 1.1 sequences in your vixen\sequences folder
start vixen, it will convert 1.1 files it finds in the sequences folder

Not wanting to take a chance w. this years stuff, I waited until now to install 2.0, did not install it over 1.1 (to not kill the stuff in case it didn't work), and couldn't get the old sequences to do anything except blow up the application.

Thanks for posting the instructions for the conversions, I didn't see a "readme first before you run this" file but I thought I remembered something about having to convert.

Yeah, that's where I saw it before. I was thinking that a readme in the actual Vixen zip distribution would have been helpful.

It's nice that my win98 machine is running the new vixen (after it updated) for hours and hours with no hiccups at all.
