I just got the final update yesterday.  The installation instructions
are a little hokey, but after figuring out the "install.exe" program
was not on disk #1, it worked (the install) correctly.  There was one
tense moment when one disk gave the dreaded "data error" message, but
a retry worked (or at least my use of TT doesn't use any of the "lost"
data 8-).

Just remember you have to run the "update" program on your "headstart"
data files before this version can read them.  Also, read the 
"readme" file (even though some of the page numbers of off).
