===================================================================
Upgrading from RLaunch732 to RLaunch763:

1) You do not need to run SETUP.EXE.  Simply copy RLaunch763.exe into \Program Files\RLaunch7, and edit your shortcut to point at the new EXE instead of the old.

2) Backup your old RLAUNCH.CFG to a safe location to use as a reference.  Lines 1-4 are the same as before, but three new lines have been added.  Full explanation can be found in HowTo.doc, but basically you just edit the first 4 lines of the new 7-line RLAUNCH.CFG to match the same lines in your old CFG file.

3) Copy GCStab.mop to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Links 2003\Mops.  Whether you play the upcoming Stableford Tour or not, you may need this MOP for the PGA Tour during the week we play the International at Castle Pines.

===================================================================
SCORE.TXT and GAMESTAT.TXT

The new launcher will automatically return your SCORE.TXT and GAMESTAT.TXT files to the server.  All you have to do is SAVE these files during closing sequence of your round.  You save by saying PRINT, and choosing TO FILE rather than to printer.  NO SPECIAL NAMING IS NECESSARY.  The STATS system manages filenames so that it's okay for every player to use the same filename every time.  BUT! your SCORE.TXT file *MUST* begin with "SCOR" and end with ".TXT", and please, no spaces.  Likewise, the launcher identifies your GAMESTAT.TXT file by the first four letters "GAME" and ending letters ".TXT".  

OUTFILES

One player was having trouble with his RALPH shot records not returning to the server, even with version 7.63 installed.  His problem was completely solved by turning OFF his firewall under Control Panel \ Security Center \ Firewall.  

The next step will be for him to add the proper program names to his firewall's exceptions list, then he can leave his firewall up during the game.  You may seek more detailed firewall support in the forums at http://www.golfcabal.com/Forums
