I called Nantucket a couple weeks ago asking about this and upgrades - 
apparently 5.0 is still in beta test, and the secretary I talked to  didn't
know of any release date. She did say that if you have proof-of-purchase
of the Summer '87 pkg after June of '89 (Or some such month) you can get the 
upgrade to 5.0 for free (or some nominal shipping/handling charge).
