Re: Upgrading from SCS 1.1.1 to SCS 2.0

   This is a note to clarify a couple of things in Charles' posting on
this topic via the remarks in [square brackets] below:

   There is an installation warning for SCS 2.0.1 on the WSS Software
site at <http://software.berkeley.edu/windows/scs/test/> which
appears to be in accord with Charles' suggestion:

   Some information on uninstalling various anti-virus and personal
firewall products, as well as manually uninstalling SCS, can be
found, at least for now, at:
