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
