>> I have what I think is 5.04...

You THINK it's 5.04? If you're not sure if it's 5.04 or not, go to your local
Apple dealer or an online service like CompuServe, America Online, or my BBS
listed below (I'm authorized to distribute it) and download something that is
DEFINITELY 5.04. Also, you have to install it with the Installer - if you
don't, many bad, possibly unexplainable things will happen because of files
from mixed system software.

>> What is the difference between 5.02 and 5.04....

There are many, many differences, too many to list here... There are toolbox
fixes, a new tool call (in the Miscellaneous Tool Set), bug fixes in the OS,
GS/OS version 3.03, version 1.1 of the Resource Manager (which is a must-get if
you use programs like AppleWorks GS, which use lots of resources and can screw
up a bit under Resource Manager 1.0 from 5.02 :), and many other fixes. Also
new printer drivers, a vastly improved and accelerated ACE toolset, etc..
