Description of Change: On September 30, 1998 the current bulletin board system used for downloading flash files will be discontinued. The flash files will be moved off of the bulletin board system and into the "Corporate Mailbox System", which requires an upgrade diskette to be mailed to you and installed on your computer.

If you presently dial the telephone number 309-494-0631 then this will impact your ability to download flash files. To determine if you use this number, start your HyperAccess software and choose option 'D' for define. Then choose 'M' to modify and choose 'Flash Download' from the list of systems. The next screen will display the telephone number that is called when downloading flash files. If the telephone number displayed is 309-494-0631, you will need to upgrade the HyperAccess software on your computer to access the "Corporate Mailbox System". Use (Esc) to return to the main menu and option 'Q' to quit.

If you are using the telephone number listed above you must convert to the new system before September 30. One flash upgrade diskette will be needed for each computer that uses the HyperAccess software. The upgrade diskettes cannot be used on more than one computer.
