James and others, here's another question: My first Jaws was 4.02 and I
have conflicting opinions as to whether I have to keep the 4.02 folder even
though I will be using 4.51 and 5. One person says your system can get
messed up by not keeping 4.02 in as well as its updated versions; another
says if you're using 4.51 you really don't need the original 4.02 if it's
not being used. What do you think?
And thanks, James, for the install instructions.
