Thanks Mr Cat, but I'm baffled.

1. This describes itself as version 1.6d, which is the version I already
have. I wonder in what sense this is 'new'? (This Microsoft document doesn't
seem to tell us.)
2. My existing version seems to do its job perfectly well, so what advantage
would there be in having this new one, if it is a new one? (This Microsoft
document doesn't seem to tell us.)
3. If it truly is a new version and I decide to install it, should I
uninstall the old one first - or not? (You guessed it - this Microsoft
document doesn't seem to tell us.)

Hi Engel. I wasn't questioning whether Mr Cat was right (he was just the
messanger, and my thanks to him). I'm concerned about the fact that I can't
make any sense of what it says in the Microsoft document, either about the
purpose of the update or about what to do with it. Perhaps I'm being
incredibly stupid (that's a definite possibility) - but my three crucial
questions don't seem to be answered - not even addressed - by that Microsoft
information article.
