Dear GreenNet Users,

Yesterday we sent out some software to you to make the number change.
 We realised that we needed to incorporate two more features
therefore the software SHOULD NOT BE USED.  Delete it and the email
that came with it.  Please accept our apologies for any confusion.

Attached to this message is the new software which is suitable for
all Windows systems apart from 3.x. We have called this
NewGreenNetupdater30-1-02.exe (note the different name) this is a
final and complete version and has been tested with: Windows
95/98/ME/NT/2000 and is suitable for Windows XP. It has been tested
with the following email programs
Outlook: 97, 2000 and 2002.  Outlook Express: 4.* 5.* and will work
on 6.  Eudora: Light, Pro, 4.* 5.*) You must reboot your computer
after installing the software.

We have included a copy of the original message.  Please follow the
instructions very carefully we have made a few amendments since
yesterday.
