Oh, I agree.  I think the example was using 6 and 8 on the same machine,
and, as you indicated, that's perfectly okay.

Hi,

That scenario wouldn't cause any problems as 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0 are all
different versions and the files related to each version are installed
in
separate folders.

In the case of version 8.0, all the updates are installed in the same
folder. If someone wants to go back to version 8.0.423, the safest way
to do
this is to uninstall the version of Jaws 8 currently on the system and
then
do a fresh install of version 8.0.423. That way, you don't run the risk
of
mixing files from the current version with previous versions. This
potentially could cause problems.

Regards,
Ryan

I wouldn't go as far as to say that.  Until fairly recently, I had both
7 and 7.1, in addition to the first build of 8.0 installed with no
problems.

This is an assumption on my part, but I would think that installing an
older 
update over the latest would risk creating conflicts.  It's not like
going 
from version 7 to 8.  In fact, I have 6.2 and 8.0 running on my system.
I 
understand you can't have two updates within the same version number
running 
on the same system.

I'd be happy to be corrected.
