I had just read this, and then, while clearing out my pile of last month's
junk mail, I ran across the single upgrade notice that I received. 
Although the product IS titled "for DOS" it is not so titled on the page
where you actually send in your order.  I haven't been able to find any
place on my notice where it mentions that the windows applets would not be
included, nor that they explicitly would not be supported in the future.
 
Although it does seem logical that CP would eventually split
their product line into two, this particular notice gives no indication
that they were going to do so at this point.  Since their previous product
was a DOS product, and included the Windows applets, it seems to me a
reasonable assumption that they would appear in the upgrade, particularly
since 'for DOS" was not consistently used in the title of the program.

I have a feeling that the two people who have been disputing the point in
this thread received different upgrade notices from CP.
