Hi,

The Challenge: Karl Bown guessed SPI's October War, ahead of a host of
others. I got more correct answers for this one than any other game so
far. The next one won't be so easy - a new Challenge awaits!

Any problems reported since the last Update should now be fixed.

NB I had error messages relating to lack of disk space when doing the
Update. Everything seems to be ok but beware...
