(1)  This is really a question for the Test list.

(2)  Usually, the test releases are upgradeable from test release 1
... through the last test release.  Unfortunately, in most if not all
cases, the release version is not upgradeable from the test releases.
I'm not sure if this is by design or not; but, sometimes they have to
back-track several test packages to fix problems that other test
releases caused.

(3)  Usually the major jumps FC1 -->> FC2 -->> FC3 -->> FC4 are OK;
but, not always.

Good Luck,
James Kosin
