	The docs included are for IB 6.5 -- that is, the 6.0 docs plus the 
release notes for IB 6.5.  There is no "IB 6.5 documentation set," because 
there weren't that many changes (from an end-user point of view -- many 
things were changed internally) between IB 6.0 and IB 6.5.

	Um, actually the Media Kit is only $30 if you have a 6.0 license.  
This gets you PDF documentation.  Printed manuals are $25 a piece.  If you 
intend to keep using 6.5 then you don't need anything else (though I don't 
know why you'd want the IB 7 docs if you want to use 6.5 only).

	If you want IB 7, and are a 6.5 licensee, then you need the 
following:

o  Media kit upgrade ($30)
o  Server license upgrade ($130)
o  Probably user licenses (server license includes one user license; see 
http://delphi.weblogs.com/stories/storyReader$236 for other options)

	Again, you already have the IB 6.5 documentation.  IMHO the 7.0 
documentation is mostly useful if you have IB 7.
