1. Set up InterMapper on the other platform, configuring the preferences anew as well as your notification settings.
2. Copy your map files to the "InterMapper Settings/Maps (Disabled)" folder on the new platform. (If you wish, you can also use InterMapper Remote to "import" them onto the new server.)
3. On the new platform, open the Server Settings window and "enable" the maps that you want to run.
4. Go through your maps and re-attach notifications to devices; these connections were lost in the transfer.
It is also possible to copy your InterMapper Settings folder and maps directly from one platform to another. This will preserve the attached notifiers for devices in your maps, but the procedure is slightly more complicated:
If you are running InterMapper "traditional" on a pre-Mac OS X system (ie Mac OS 9.2 or earlier), you will need to convert your preferences file ("InterMapper Prefs"). The easiest way to do this is to run InterMapper on Mac OS X -- start up the program and quit it -- InterMapper will fix up the file so it is cross-platform.
If you have any files in your "Custom Icons" folder, you will need to convert these to "data-fork" based resource files. On Mac OSX, this can be done with the ResMerger tool which is included with Apple's developer tools.
You must double-check your modem pager settings on the new platform; the location of the modem device stored in the preferences file will be completely different.
All of the other files should transfer without any problems.

What's the proper procedure for upgrading from InterMapper "classic" to the
daemonized version, specifically the linux beta?
What files need moved where? Any gotchas to watch out for? Is there anything
that won't transfer from the old system to the new?
