Jim,

That's exactly what it meant, what I said below.  An upgrade is an upgrade, 
and an update is an update.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi,
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

Hi Margaret,

Just read Eric's own message here, giving the details of changes in the
update.  Why is everyone discussing this in the first place?  Weeks ago,

someone mentioned that an update would soon be coming out, and that Eric
had
announced it at a convention.  This was very clearly the announcement of
an
interim update, which is a regular sort of thing.  I believed it and
didn't
give it another thought until the list became alive with rumors and
questions, back and forth.  This could have been due to only two things.

One, maybe people aren't reading their list messages.  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.  An upgrade is a new

version or new release, whichever term you prefer.

Hope this helps.

During the next two weeks, we will post another Free Update for JAWS 6.x
users. This will be version 6.2 and in addition to many requested fixes,
it will offer the ability to let a PAC Mate user control their PC and
Desktop JAWS. This will include Keyboard in put, synthesizer, and
Braille output all from the PAC Mate BX or QX models. There will be more
details on this shortly.

Following that, will be an SMA release in September. This will be the
version 7.0. Regards, Eric
