NOTE TO EXISTING USERS: Since December 2005 the program has a feature that will check if you have the latest version and, if you do not, offer the option to update just the files you need.  You can check if that option is available in your version by viewing the "Help" pull-down menu in the program.  If there is an option that says "Check for Updates", then you can select it to obtain your upgrade.  Otherwise, you will need to download the full installation this time and then the option will be available for future updates.  It is safe to download and install the full version over any existing version you have, as it will detect and preserve any existing data or settings you have.  Also note that if you have registered a version less than 5.0, you may upgrade at a significant discount.

VERSION 4.5.0  (Released: 2/25/2007)
