| I can confirm that the update tool seems to work flawlessly on Windows Vista, too. |

Thanks Mace, seems we forgot the readme.1st this time. :-)
Please also note that the update tool in version 2.8.3 is still available in compiled form for a lot of retro platforms. It's still safe to use it on newer HVSC update, only you get an "error message" complaining that the /Hubbard_Rob/ directory is not where it expects it to be, assuming you did something fundamentally wrong to your HVSC. You can tell the tool to continue anyway (Y/N) and it will still do its job. |

(1) The new HVSC Update Tool only currently works on these platforms:
- Windows (95 through to XP)
- Linux (Intel, ELF)
Note also that as of HVSC Update #47, you _must_ use Update Tool
2.8.4 upwards. This is because the script relies on new directives
which are only specified in this new version.
The Windows binary of the Update Tool was compressed with
the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables v2.03w, (C) 1996-2007 by
Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer & László Molnár.
Note that the Windows executable is the only version included
with this Update. Please see the HVSC web page for links to
all other operating system versions (URL at bottom).
It will also work on other UNIX systems, but you will have to
email <hvsc@c64.org> for the source code. Please
also do so if you would like to provide publicly available ports of
the Update Tool for any other popular operating system.
HVSC Update Tool 2.8.4 is backwards compatible with HVSC 2.0 upwards.
If you wish to apply an HVSC update older than this one, you are
advised to use the latest HVSC Update Tool included in this update.
(2) The /update directory must reside directly within the HVSC
Collection. We recommend the following for unzipping:
Windows -> pkunzip -o -d hv_up_??.zip
UNIX -> unzip -o hv_up_??.zip -d <destdir>
If the old Update Tool exists, choose overwrite. That is, always
use the newest Update Tool. Windows users make sure to use a
decompressor that can handle long file names (Winzip 6.0 and above
does the job nicely).
The updates are zipped two times in order to allow us to cram more
SIDs in.
More detailed information is given when you run the Update Tool.
(3) Only run/unzip one update at a time. That is, don't unzip several
updates at the same time into the same directory. Unzip and run
each update separately, one after each other and in increasing
order.
Further, it is recommended that you delete the /update directory
after you are successful with the update. The reason is that the
Update Tool might not find the right update directory if two
/update directories that differ in case are present.
(4) It is safe to run the update on your collection even if you have
unwisely modified the collection or if you only have a partial
collection. If any problems occur, an error file will be generated
which will list the errors. We recommend that you don't modify
HV SIDs.
(5) DO NOT RUN THE SAME UPDATE ON YOUR COLLECTION MORE THAN ONCE!
You will damage some SIDs if you do!
