Yes, it means running the complete installation. Simply run the install. It will automatically update the old one. Uninstalling and then reinstalling the newer version isn't necessary. In fact, on the TB! download page, below the table listing the files for download is: ,- / \ | * Note for users of previous versions of The Bat! - do not uninstall | your existing copy of The Bat! - just install the new version over. It | will save your breath and time. `- C> What other files does the installation exe update? C> Is there a reason not to just swap simply the executables, but to run C> the installation exe? For full releases you may miss updates to files like the help. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.11.02 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgp0oy4j1e8W1.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Without the installation you will not get the smilies and if there were any updates to the helpfile you will miss those as well. -- Cheers, Andre "He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it."
