versions of the application. As part of its opening process the SLIDRet 4.0
software verifies to see if a more recent version is available. If a newer
version is available the software will automatically prompt the user with a
message similar to the following:
Selecting OK will seamlessly
install and start the new version on your computer giving you access to new
features or fixes that have been released.

application update however this is not recommended as the results could be
unforeseen.
