[Dxspider-support] A Windowze question on CSV

[Paul M Dunphy]

     I have a fair bit of Unix experience, and even have a Linux 
system running here.  However, due to circumstances beyond my 
control, I have to run DX Spider under Win-XP with the perl 
emulator.  Wanting to be a good Cluster citizen, I believe I ought to 
keep up to date with the releases.

     Therein lies the problem.  My instinct is that a CSV release is 
similar to a makefile under Unix, except I'm running it under Windoze 
and have all of my users, connect scripts and other customizations 
working fine (including the AGW radio side.)

     Now . . . if I download the latest CSV and "update" what I have 
under Windoze, what happens?  Is it a slick upgrade (I'd first make a 
back-up copy of my \spider directory of course) so that I will keep 
all of my customizations and user database, or will it overwrite 
everything and put me back to the default install?

     Sorry if this has all been answered before, but I'm a clueless 
newbee when it comes to DX Spider updates.  Were I doing this on a 
Linux system, life probably would be easier . . .
