It was a calculated risk, Norm
I created a new folder, copied GUI.up and IUPgrade.exe there, run the .exe and
looked what files were unpacked.
The files seemed pretty "harmless", but.. had anything gone wrong:
a) I knew what files had been replaced
b) I have 2 operating systems installed with both Fritz 9 (GUI 9)
c) I would have replaced the overwritten files with the older files from the
other install.
z) Would it have not worked out... I would have reinstalled ;)
