My version of Quarterback Tools is 1.3a, December 2, 1990.  There are rumours
that a version later than this is out.  The release notes on the disk note
extensive fixes, especially depending on your specific configuration. 
Specifically,  2090/2090A, Wordsync, Trumpcard, and Hardframe controllers all
experience problems under previous versions.  Really, there were MANY fixes. 
You should get the latest version.

My copy came as version 1.3a.  My dealer offered to let me update my copy for
free if he gets a higher version in.  Just bring in your original, and he'll
copy over top.  I suspect this will be for the minor versions only, though.  If
a major version comes out for which there is a significant update fee, I will
go through CCS to get the update.  Ask your dealer what he'll do for you.
