A Summary of Changes to since the ICCS Meetings, July 2004:

July 26, 2004 build 1668.23500
The method used to validate XML has been changed; no longer will the XML Parser and SDK employing Interop.MSXML2.dll be required; this simplifies installation.

The "Insertion on Verso" process has been improved. Previously, only Graphs on the Beta ScratchPad directly connected with a BetaDerivations form could be copied to that form; now, Graphs on any open ScratchPad (including those resulting from opening of a saved Graph Construction) may be so copied. Also, Graphs Copied for Insertion on Verso may be Pasted to any area of any ScratchPad. Currently, the Pasting (to Verso on a BetaDerivations Form or to a ScratchPad) is limited to one replica; the selection of Graph to copy must be re-done for additional replicas.

There are Two Options for the Download and Installation:
Option 1:
  If .NET Framework 1.1 is NOT installed on your Machine (you can check in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs for "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1"). The .NET Framework 1.1 is REQUIRED to run and install this Application. So far as I know, the only MS Operating System so far that comes with this Framework as Original Equipment is Server 2003.
