I have been using D&S 5.0 for about 2 years.  I have not noticed
the file size getting absurdly large.  It still fits easily on a 1.4M
floppy for backup.  I enter something between 100 and 200 transactions
per month, many with multiple distributions.

I have been running under 6.07 with no problems.

I don't know for sure about 4.1C.  I last used D&S on my old Apple IIe.
I bought the version when I got my IIsi.  I think version 5.0 was
fairly new at the time.  The capabilities I liked were all there but 5.0
was *much* easier and nicer to use.
