We have 2.0.9. There was some sort of diskette duplication error with
2.0.8, causing 2.0.8 to crash. It was replaced by 2.0.9. The update
notice says that a bug associated with changing the permanent sort
order for a file has been fixed. The best part of the fix, in my
opinion, is that objects with attached scripts are visually
differentiated from objects without scripts by a black triangle in the
upper left corner. There's still no cross-reference utility, and you
still can't delete fields or files from the database structure.

Performance is still poor in some areas--we deleted 304,000 records
from the database, and had to let the program run overnight to complete
the deletion.
