This page will only help if you have the Guide 8.0 CDs; click here for updates to Guide 7 or here for updates to Guide 6 or here for updates to Guide 5, or here for information about ordering Guide 8.
It's recommended that you return to this page from time to time. There is a long list of possible improvements to Guide that will be worked on in the coming months, and they will be reflected on this page.
Also, be aware that at times, there is an "in-testing" version of the software. This will incorporate new features and bug fixes; it's usually not considered quite ready for this page, either because bugs still need fixing or the features aren't completely done.
How to use the update files: To get the update and the features listed below, download one of the following three files and unZIP it in your Guide directory. Important: if you run Guide in a language other than English, you'll also need to download and unZIP one or more of the "language" files offered below, if such a file is provided. Also, it's a good idea to read through the list of new features (following the download section) to see what you're getting.
