Dear Sarah,

Thanks very much for your response! Perhaps my communication above was unclear
because last night I did as you advised and it merely read as I stated above.
Perhaps they are now referring to the latest version directly off the CD as
Fritz 7 January 22, 2002, since it is unpatched. I'm merely speculating though.

Thanks again, Sarah.

Stephen
