INSTRUCTIONS FOR RAPIDS MAINTENANCE RELEASE 2.4.1  
-------------------------------------------------- 

This release provides bug fixes and enhancements 
to implement the NIF 3.0 to RAPIDS import.

IMPORTANT: Existing users must have installed all of 
the previous database upgrades and data releases prior 
to installing this release. New users may use this 
release to install the most current RAPIDS software 
and a standalone starter database.


1) New users: to install a brand new RAPIDS Oracle 
starter database for Data Release 231, follow the 
instructions in the README.TXT file located in the 
Database\Oracle\Starter\Data231 folder.

2) All users: Install the RAPIDS application using the 
instructions in the README.TXT file located in the 
Software folder.

NOTE: RAPIDS Release 2.4.1 contains a different set 
of PowerBuilder .PBD files than the previous releases.
To avoid problems with mixing versions, we recommend 
that you uninstall your previous version of RAPIDS before
installing the new version 2.4.1. IMPORTANT: if you use
the SQL Anywhere database and have previous data that
you need to preserve, copy the rapids.db and rapids.log
files from your RAPIDS program directory 
(usually C:\RAPIDS20) to a backup directory before 
uninstalling the RAPIDS program.


[Steps 3 and 4 are only for users with EXISTING 
RAPIDS databases that need to be upgraded.]  

3) Run the Oracle and/or SQL Anywhere database 
patches following the instructions in the README.TXT 
file located in the appropriate Database folder.

4) Run the RAPIDS Import Module to import Data 
Release 231. The instructions are in the README.TXT 
file located in the Data_231 folder.
