You MUST copy the following update files to your MDTS directory!!!
see STEP 2, above

you may delete the original files listed above, and MDT3.EXE also.
Remember to enter DEL *.NTX before restarting the program.
To update from version T copy/rename as above EXCEPT:
-- Do NOT enter the command COPY MEMBERS.DBF A04_MBER.DBF

MEMBERS.DBF present) to append (copy) data from old format to new.
