Thank you very much. The 5.1 release worked perfectly. It seems that few users implemented this "book currency" feature. Question: Is it possible for me to reverse it, so that in the event future releases finally disable this feature, users like me can still apply the updates without problems? Best regards Douglas

It added several hundred unused lines to the options code so I removed it as part of rewriting that options code in C++. I thought that it wouldn't have gotten set in any books. I've restored the feature to 5.1 so you and anyone else with the feature set will be able to upgrade.
