Visual CADD™ v5.0.6 patch Release (5.0.6.137 & 138)

The original 5.0.6.137 release had a bug that caused the install to fail on some Win9x systems (Win2000, XP, and Vista installed correctly).  The 5.0.6.138 version corrected the Win9x problem.  Other than the install difference, the content of the two patches is identical.  There is no need to install .138 on Win2000/XP/Vista systems, however doing so will have no adverse affect.
