Your CL will function just fine with the older software, but if you want to update
the OS sector you must explicitly enable that functionality. This is all explained
in the manual. I did it this way because updating the OS sector is dangerous,
and if something goes wrong only I can fix it. So READ THE MANUAL before
attempting it, and be aware that erasing the OS sector takes eight times as long
as regular sectors. So the CL will sit there, saying "ERS 000" for longer than you
might expect. Just leave it alone and let it do its thing!

Thanks Monte!! I just read the update manual and now see how that works. (I also take your point on the potential for disaster, so I'll leave well enough alone until there's a pressing need to update the OS.)

This is a *fantastic* set of software and procedures. I'd been very reluctant to attempt updating the flash on the CL but this was sufficiently un-scary that I figured even I could do it. :-) Thanks again to you and Sylvain!
