Please folks, don't mislead people by telling them that "upgrades" are a simple matter of holding your left foot in the air while extracting the bindist over a system in single user mode while "Muskrat Love" is playing on the radio. Sure, it might _work_ but whether or not it works 100% is another matter, and WE get to pick up the pieces afterwards in the questions list! THERE IS NO UPGRADE PATH FROM 2.0R TO 2.0.5! I'm sorry, I wish there was, but there wasn't time to do the work. Jordan
