                                 IMPORTANT

If you have an existing WP Office 4.0 system, please read the
following:

Software Compatibility Notice
     This software is version 4.0a.  To enhance WP Office
     database security, a change was made to the WP Office
     software.  A result of this change is that version 4.0a is
     incompatible with version 4.0.

     When updating to version 4.0a, you must update all
     administration and client software.  For example, if you
     update the DOS client software to version 4.0a, you must
     also update the administration, Macintosh client, and
     Windows client software to version 4.0a.  If you use the
     message server and gateways, you must also update the
     message server and gateway software to version 4.0a.

     When you use WP Office 4.0a, the 4.0 databases are
     automatically updated to 4.0a databases.  There is no loss
     of data when you update your system to WP Office 4.0a.

A Note About Multiple-Domain Systems
     Different domains can run different software versions.  For
     example, one domain can run version 4.0; another domain can
     run version 4.0a.
