It's cheaper, even with those flat phone rates of today. :))) Support? I e-mailed Oxford-Softworks and never received a reply. I then e-mailed Chris Whittington who referred me to Oxford-Softworks. I wrote him back saying that Oxford-Softworks has not responded. Chris Whittington then sent me the reply "FW: OS". I queried back if FW meant Forget Why? For What? or Forget Whittington? Anyway, thanks for your help, Jeroen. I actually seem to have done it by dragging the download into CSTal exe and replaced it with just using the mouse. I see that now there is the "Reduced Strength" tab so I expect all is well. I will check what you suggest and make sure it says 2.03. Very strange is the new version actually has fewer megabytes.
