These are the steps you need to perform to upgrade the 01 May 2000 version to the current Beta version:

* Create a TWiki directory below the data directory.
* Delete the following files in your TWiki.Main installation:
  * `BillClinton` , `GoodStyle` , `RegularExpression` , `TextFormattingFAQ` , `TextFormattingRules` , `TWikiAdministration` , `TWikiCategoryTable` , `TWikiDocumentation` , `TWikiEnhancementRequests` , `TWikiHistory` , `TWikiImplementationNotes` , `TWikiInstallationNotes` , `TWikiNotificationOfChanges` , `TWikiPlannedFeatures` , `TWikiPreferences` , `TWikiUpgradeTo01May2000` , `TWikiUsernameVsLoginUsername` , `TWikiVariables` , `TWikiWeb` , `WelcomeGuest` , `WikiName` , `WikiNotation` , `WikiTopic` , `WikiWikiClones`
* In all your webs, change references to topics that moved to the TWiki.TWiki web:
  * Change topics: `TWikiUsers` , `WebNotify` , `WebHome`
  * With links to: `TWikiPreferences` , `TWikiVariables` , `TWikiUsers` , `TWikiWebsTable` , `WelcomeGuest`
* Move your `TWikiWebsTable` topic to TWiki.TWiki.
* Merge your changes to `TWikiPreferences` into `TWiki.TWikiPreferences` , then delete `Main.TWikiPreferences`
* In case you customized `TWikiRegistration` , merge your changes back into `TWiki.TWikiRegistration` , then delete `Main.TWikiRegistration` .
* In case you have authentication: Change `.htaccess` to reflect the new location of the `TWikiRegistration` , i.e. <br />`ErrorDocument 401 /cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration`
