Kana Reminder Data Converter
 2001-2003 by Kana Solution


This program can be used to convert Kana Reminder data file from
version 1 and version 2 (prior to version 2.0.0.109) into version 
2.0.0.109 and later.

Kana Reminder version 2.0.0.109 and later can update the data file 
autonatically. If you upgrade from version 2, your data file should be 
detected automatically. If you upgrade from version 1, you may need to 
use this program, or copy your old data into new data location. Please 
see the Kana Reminder FAQ on Kana Solution website.

The old data file will be saved as *.old, or oldx, where x is a number, 
and the new data will be saved as *.dat in the same folder as the old 
data.

It is recommended to backup your data before updating.

For data from version 1, no validation of the old data is performed, so 
make sure that the data file is valid. 


NOTE:
 Because of the limited capabilities of the data from version 1, if you 
  have a passworded reminder data, that data will not be converted.
 If your data is already converted previously, you will be notified by 
  the program.

The followings are the steps to upgrade your data:
1. Locate your old data (Reminder.dat). The default location of your data 
   is in the program folder.
2. Copy your old data into different location for backup.
3. Run the converter program. It will ask for the location of the old 
   file.
4. During conversion, your old data file will be renamed into 
   Reminder.old, and Reminder.dat is your new data file.
5. After you successfully convert the data file, run the new reminder 
   program. The reminder list should be empty. Right click the tray icon, 
   and from popup menu select "Open Data Folder". This should open the 
   new location of data folder and setting file in Explorer.
6. Close reminder.
7. Copy the converted data file into the new data folder.
8. Start again the reminder. Your old data should be displayed on the 
   list.
