To answer my own question... Shortly after posting the message above I
received a phone call from a survey firm hired by Central Point. The person
calling wanted to know if I had received the upgrade notice (yes) and had
ordered the upgrade (yes). She also asked if I was satisfied with the
upgrade (sort of). I told her I was very unhappy that Central Point had
removed all the Windows apps from PC Tools 8.0 and did not mention it in
the upgrade offer.

Her final question was: What I buy "Central Point PC Tools for *WINDOWS*".
My answer: "Not after this treatment. I already have Norton Desktop for
Windows 2.0 and am very happy with it."
