This is the information I needed to make upgrading from RR10.3 to WK
11.01 easier.

Make a copy of every file that is going to change.  If we get this
straight now, we'll all have a lot less grief.

If you need VT100 keypad support, upgrade from WK 11.0 to WK 11.01.
(My 3270 PF keys, which depend on the keypad, would not work
when I dialed up our IBM mainframe through a 7171 protocol converter.)
To upgrade, get on GEnie and download file 1443 in the Freesoft
libraries. UnStuffit to get:
 - PUP(TM) Decryptor v2.0, from Paragon Software, the makers of Nisus.
 - WK 11.01 Patches, a decryptor document
 - Update Notes (Plain Text), a MacWrite 4.6 document.

Double  click on  WK 11.01 Patches to launch the PUP Decryptor.
Identify WK 11.0 to it. If your System crashes, that copy of  WK 11.0
will be  corrupted, so throw it away and make another copy. (After my
System crashed, I rebooted, turned off all the INITs on my HD and 
rebooted again into UniFinder.  I didn't have the patience to figure 
out which INIT was conflicting.)  You could boot from a pared down 
System on a floppy to make sure nothing will conflict.  Try decrypting
again.

You can use 10.3 procedures in 11.01. 10.3 procedures are compatible
with 11.01.

To use the same settings in 11.01 as in 10.3, save a Settings file in
RR 10.3, convert that file with the application Convert Settings that
comes on the WK 11.0 master disk, then  launch from the converted
Settings into 11.01. Convert Settings will also convert Red's 10.3
Stuff to be compatible with 11.01, but you have to rename it WK's 11.0
Stuff yourself. WK 11.0 won't recognize it otherwise.

Work your way through 11.01's menus, taking advantage of WK's new
features. I did most of my resetting in the Customize menu, naturally.
I checked Final Report in File Transfer Options, Long Packet Kermit in
Kermit Options and Using MultiFinder in White Knight Options, among others.
