Well you forgot to mention here that it was Equis ridiculous version
numbering system and, if I remember correctly, a faulty patch, and not the
customers, who were to blame for the patch problem. I have other software,
which even updates itself automatically over the web. I don't think it
should be such a problem for Equis.

Subject: RE: Continual charge for maintenance releases???
List,
In the past, the patches that we posted on the web site caused much more
headache to customers than it was worth. Many people were either installing
the wrong patch or multiple patches when they only needed to run one of
them, or there were people that had multiple installations of the program
and the patches sometimes failed to update the program in the location that
they expected, etc.
Installing the maintenance release from a CD will eliminate most of these
issues.Therefore it was decided that there will not be a patch posted on the
web site for versions 7.0x. The update will be via CD only.
The $9.00 charge for the 7.0x release includes the cost of the CD,
duplication and shipping anywhere in the world. The cost will be determined
at the time of the release depending on if it is only a maintanence release
or if there are any enhancements to the software. If you have any further
questions on the upgrade cost, please contact our sales department at
800-882-3030 or 801-265-8886.
Thank you,
Lynn

Interesting question.
I just got the full EOD upgrade on a CD as v 7.02, I ASSYOUME the
patch from 7.xx to 7.02 was on the WEB.... I just checked, and they
are still on the 6.52 time frame.
Equis is just too busy at this time upgrading their followers, and
making sure everyone is please.
Equis, I'm sure, being a good and socially responsive software
company, will release the patch to fix minor unforeseen issues with
customer's configuration, will be posted on the WEB site in due time.
