Yes, you can order the update by phone.  They have an "upgrade" phone
number in the front of the manual (I'm not sure if they let you upgrade
from their 800 number or not).  They charged me $15 to send me a disk
with the new files on it.

My biggest complaint about Manx is not receiving any information about
new upgrades.  I've always found out in the amiga newgroups and then
call them to upgrade.  They must be losing a lot of money from people
that would like to upgrade but never find out about it.
