Sorry Kevin - you caught me !
I prematurely uploaded 4.2.007 to ECSL.ZIP to correct a
problem with the 30-day evaluation logic. But I was not ready
to release, as we had not completed testing of the NAPCO GEMINI.
And I expected that everyone would be updating via ECSU.ZIP
instead of ECSL.ZIP.
Anyway, I am now releasing 4.2.007 to avoid confusing others
(the formal announcement is forthcoming).
Any tweaking of the NAPCO stuff will be addressed in 4.2.008.
