3 EASY STEPS TO UPGRADE ZEN CART=99

http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=3D108

Easy steps? That sounds good.

So all I have to do is download a virgin copy of the version I have =20
installed, apply any patches that are applied to the installed =20
version, download the new version, diff the installed version with =20
the virgin copy of same, manually apply and differences to the new =20
version, upgrade the database, etc etc etc, test, repeat, swear a =20
bit, sob.

Actually they're trying to explain to not-particularly-technical =20
users how to use diff and patch to merge local changes into a new =20
version of some software including handling possible changes to a =20
database schema. I imagine that at some point quite early in the =20
instructions their idea of 'easy' diverges sharply from said user's =20
idea of 'easy'.

As someone who's quite used to working with patches the process still =20=

looks pretty fraught.
