As far as I know there will be no upgrades until next year. I have talked to
the one of the creators of TAS and said that next year he has a lot of 
new features planned for TAS. Don't expect them to be free. If you have 
questions, you could direct them right to the creators. That is what I
did. Reichart was extremely friendly and helpful to me. He is also very
interested in what people are doing with his program. I believe the
number is in the TAS Owner's Manual.

I had the same question. There are a number of programs that generate this
format but do not name them blahblah.instr. You could try renaming a sample 
you have an try reading it in. I have a PerfectSound sampler that I want to
use samples from. I haven't tried this yet as I have been too busy trying to
bring my A3000 up to where my A2000 was, but I did something like this when
I brought some foriegn samples as instruments into DMCS and it worked okay.
Good luck.
