<p><font size=3 color=navy face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;

and was considering with it to move from 1.4 to one of the later versions. My
and my clients' 1.4 setups have been rock solid and I don't want to put myself
into any unnecessary trouble. Those of you with solid experience with all these
versions, what would you suggest? What new and exciting enhancements would
newer versions bring and how about their stability and reliability? Or should I
stay with 1.4?<o:p></o:p></p>
