Visual CADD 5.0 Update README
last revision: January 2007
=====================================================
Although this page only lists the 5.0.6 fixes and features, the Update README file
on your computer contains a complete list of bug fixes and new features from all the
various patches and updates since the initial release of version 5.0 in October 2004.
A new version of that file is installed to your Visual CADD 5 folder whenever a new
update is released. The file name is vcadd5_update_ReadMe.txt and the default path
to the folder is C:\Program Files\TriTools Partners\Visual CADD 5. Use Notepad or
another text editor to open the file.

Visual CADD 5.0.6 patch Release (5.0.6.137)
Visual CADD 5.0.6 patch Release (5.0.6.138)
January 2007
Please note that the original .137 release had a problem on Win95/98/ME systems
that caused Visual CADD to fail on startup. The .138 release solves this problem.
Visual CADD under the Win2000/XP/Vista operating systems works fine with the
.137 release. There is no need to install .138 on Win2000/XP/Vista systems,
however doing so will have no adverse affect.
