How to Update Your Copy of SiMPLE

Walt Disney once said, "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world." In a similar vein, SiMPLE should also be regarded as being "a work in progress." As new ideas present themselves (and/or as minor corrections have to be made to the system), slightly newer revisions of SiMPLE will be made available from time to time.

As of version 12.07.24, you can now easily update your existing copy of SiMPLE to the latest release at any time by merely running SiMPLE's built-in "Update" program. Just double-click any "S i M P L E" (toy block) shortcut (such as the one in your "Samples" folder), and then type the word: UPDATE (either upper-case or lower-case) on the command line.*

*You can optionally type: UPDATE #, where "#" represents the letter of the
drive that contains the copy of SiMPLE that you wish to update (e.g., UPDATE C).

(Before updating, be sure to close any another SiMPLE windows or files that may still be open.)

The "Update" program will automatically connect directly to the SiMPLE CodeWorks website and update your existing copy of SiMPLE to the very latest version! [You no longer need to start up your web browser and visit a special "update" page on our website. You no longer need to re-download the entire "installer" program (along with many megabytes of redundant data) each time you want to do an update. You no longer need to wait for any files to unzip... In fact, we've now made the whole process almost too easy! ]

When the update finishes, click the "OK" button. And then close the black window (by clicking the black window's close button). Now you're all set to rock and roll with an up-to-date copy of SiMPLE!

What Changes Were Made?

Note: As of version 12.08.09, the "Samples" folder has been relocated into a new folder named "SiMPLE Projects". All updates to the "Samples" folder (and to any of its sub-folders) now appear inside the "SiMPLE Projects" folder.

If you are currently using a version of SiMPLE prior to 12.07.24, you will have to update your copy of SiMPLE by following the instructions shown on our "How to Download SiMPLE" page. (The installer program will see that you already have SiMPLE installed, and it will ask you if you want to update it.)

[If you are currently still using the "old" (obsolete) version of SiMPLE (the one that works only with 32-bit computers), and if you wish to update to the latest version of SiMPLE, you will have to delete your old copy of SiMPLE before downloading the new one.]
