Driver Upgrades
The installation program determines if there is a driver directory with
the same name already installed. If there is a previous installation,
you are notified, and asked if you still wish to install the driver.
Upgraded drivers, when installed, are renamed by adding an
underscore character and a number (single consecutive digit) to the
name of the driver directory.
The number appended to the name increments with each upgrade. No
more than nine upgrades (renamed older files) can be stored for a
single driver, unless you manually rename or move previous upgrade
files.
Warning!!
There is very little reason to upgrade a driver that is working
properly in your system. If you do upgrade a working driver,
be prepared to re-apply any customization you added to the
previous point file and supporting screens.
Drivers do not need to be recompiled between minor revisions of
Newpoint Compass. Major revisions may require recompiling your
drivers; if this is the case, you will be notified in release notes. Major
releases can be recognized by a number increase of 1 or more in the
Compass revision title.
