I'm running Version 5.1 using the "Sun Free Download" key with no major
problems.

A friend has tried the next (only?) version following (5.1a?) and reported
that it wasn't reading 5.1 files properly, ie not properly backwards
compatible. I haven't had this comfirmed from other sources though. It's
possible that some other things have been fixed/improved in the later
version/s though, eg MS Office filters.

Dave.
