Dan,

Look at the file "UPD.TXT" which is included with each download.  It has the
changes that take place in each "revision".....

In this case, Mark has renamed all the PLC interfaces; I believe that the
type "PLC-Interface-2C" is now just "PLC-Interface-C".  Use a text editor to
make that change to your CFG (don't forget to add an extra "space" after
that change to keep "ACC:            " at the proper location.

There have been other changes since 4.3.xx ----  I know, I'm looking/working
on converting myself (I have been running 4.3.009) as I now need the
capability of "TOUCHSCREEN-TEXT" type item to send text to my new leopard
touchscreen.

Dunno why Mark makes these changes but he does and I for one, just live with
making changes when I move to a more recent version.

Hope this helps.

Bill Walters
