Really?! I just spent the better part of 3 hours backing up and preparing to
update 6.5 to 7.0.. I read all the documentation that has been piece mealed 
out to me, I read the READ ME FIRST... Only to get to the last page and
find no information on how to do an UPDATE. I tried all the old stuff,
getting GETTOOLS with lifcp.. but that didn't work.. I look somemore at
the documentation... still nothing.. if you what to install, then it's
no problem or so it appears. I will be calling my Rep in the morning,
but jeez am I the only one having any problems with a simple update?
