Use this page to stay up-to-date and to know when to look for a CD in the mail or to download an update. You can also retrieve update release notes in each section, and the current User's Guide at the bottom of the page. Please email me at lawrencetucker@comcast.net if you have any questions or requests - Larry. 6/12/09 - Upgrade v9.06b available for all programs. All programs should download and install this upgrade as soon as possible. It has support for longer DPH PVs and changes in MassHealth educator coverage. The upgrade assumes that you have already run at least the up904b below. (Thom off-sites will have run additional upgrades). Here is the up906b.exe upgrade. Right-click on the link and "Save As" to your desktop. Then run it using the password you will receive by email. The file is about 25MB in size, so it will take at least a few minutes to download on a fast internet connection. Some Internet providers cut off large downloads early, without warning, so make sure the file you receive is the full size. It is too large to download over a dial-up connection. If you have any trouble downloading the upgrade, please contact me and I will send you a CD -- Larry Here is the update documentation
