I also received 2.0.5.  This in a direct upgrade from ACIUS.  My interest
is in bug-fixes.  Does ACIUS provide regular bug-fix versions, and ~rif so
are they provided or do I need to needle the tech support people for
info on this (I don't have CompuServe access.)  

My interest is in some apparent bombs lurking in 4D V2.0  For example, in
one database I have set up, an attempt to select records based on city
name will reliably cause the program to quit under multi-finder (or
crash the machine in regular finder.)  I like some features of it, but it still
seems too new - I'd like to get a more mature version.
