Hello Randy

The "normal" update means only the games which are available for free - four
times a month. But the "special service" was meant to have commented! games
and prog updates included as told e.g. in the CA 5.1 handbook!!
This "special service" should be done for subscribed owners of CA 5.1 who
should have got an extra registration number for this...but seems not to exist
now...maybe a while ago it did, but I dont know.
