Notes:
1. The `tar' files for Update 4 are located in the same directory as the MAE 3.0 Free Demo, which now includes the changes included in Update 4. Unlike the previous updates for MAE 3.0 (including Updates 1, 2, and 3), Update 4 is a complete installation of MAE.
2. If you are installing MAE for the first time, you do not need to install any previous versions of MAE (including the 3.0 CD-ROM, as well as Updates 1, 2, or 3). Since MAE 3.0 Update 4 is a full installation of MAE, much of the information present in the README.TXT file included in your tar distribution applies as well.
3. In particular, each MAE user's System Folder will be upgraded the first time MAE 3.0 Update 4 is executed for that particular user. Please refer to the README.TXT file for complete information.
4. The official version number of MAE 3.0 with this update applied is "MAE 3.0 Update 4".
