must have downloaded the message class update file (MESSAGTB) sent to
enrolled schools at the beginning of July.

as your PC operating system to run this version. You must also be in

Version 2.0 is NOT an upgrade to the 1999-2000 FISAP software (Version 1.0),
and will not overwrite your Version 1.0 database or program files. You can
perform a standalone installation or a network installation. If you plan to
use the software in a network environment, you should perform the database
