[Dxspider-support] 2 more newbie questions

[Keith Maton]

Terry,

You’re connected to me and it’s all good.  However, I can see you’re running a very old version of dxspider (1.55 build: 250), this is something you really should look at updating as there’s a big push at the moment to get people onto the mojo branch.

I’m sure Kin will jump in and offer to help update it :-)
