Jim,
That's exactly what it meant, what I said below. An upgrade is an
upgrade,
and an update is an update.
Yes but thoughs terms need to be clearly defined.
As I have done below
Thanks,
A upgraid in software terms is when the version number it self before
the point changes so a upgrade is 6 to 7. A update on a program is
anything that causes the version number after the point to change so a
update is 6.0 6.1 and so on Hth -----Original Message-----
Two, maybe some people don't know the difference between the terms
"update" and "upgrade."
They are not synonyms. They don't mean the same thing. An update is a
free modification to the current version of the program.
No it is not.
The version number does not stay the same and there for it is not just a
modification of the currant version. It is a all new version and can
include features bugs fixes and new documentation.
An upgrade is a new
version or new release, whichever term you prefer.
All releces are new versions. The term is defined correctly above.
