Finaly got A6.40E. And I'm going to upgrade to A6 Comm as soon as I get some $$ (just started college, gonna spend thousands on books). My question is, should I uninstall my old A5.51 or do I still need that?

And another question, is it ever advantageous to use scan, ent_move, trace, etc, over c_scan, c_move or c_trace?

uninstall A5

install the A6 trial-version, use you key.exe on your floppy to register your version. then update to 40.5 if you want.

i use c_trace, c_move, c_rotate

he knows how to do it.

Oh, I've done all that. Have it installed and everything, just wanted to know if I still needed the old A5. But you answered it anyways, thanks.

But again, is it ever advantageous to use the older, non-c_ instructions such as ent_move?

well, the collision system is faster, but if your gonna do that, just download an older version of 6, since they support it, but still have a faster renderer (directx, instead of software), i think marco(whos gone) or jcl would be the best people to ask, but i think what i said was fairly accurate.

It is, the C_ instructions are the reason the update took so long. They are much improved and much more accurate from 6.31.4, there is little reason to keep A5.
