James, I successfully installed the 2.0.1 QBTools patch. I updated the programs on my backup floppy and on my hard drive. Should I also update the programs on the ORIGINAL disk? Thanks. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Dom, Typically I feel that it is better never to write on the original disk and to limit changes to the backup copy. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.

Randy, Thanks. Does that mean that future patches will be able to be applied to the latest update? Some companies release patches that can only be applied to the original version of the program. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Dominick, Whether you want to update the programs on your original disks is up to you. However, should we upload any future patches, they will need to be applied to the most recent version. (In other words, if we upload a version 2.0.2 patch, it will need to be applied to version 2.0.1, not version 2.0.) James Bayless Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.

James, Great. Thanks for the info. I had asked Randy that very question about how future patches would be applied. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–
