I know there have been many questions and responses on this subject; however, I have not kept close tabs on them and I want
to have my upgrade run as smoothly as possible. So please understand if I repeat what others have.

System: Vista Home Premium 64

What is the best (no pun intended - BeST) to upgrade from 8.0.6 to 9.5.1? I have a very large study.not file and many *.top files
that I wrote myself. *I wrote the top files for when study.not was unavailable for missing Bible books. I want to make sure these
are usable in the new version.

As a different, though related issue, because of crashes over the years (my PC's and esword) I have additional study.not files
stored on my server. With the 9.5.1 version of esword is there a way to merge these together as one study.not file? Is there a
way to see that I am not duplicating entries? Under 8 and below I drew out a process that used BeST, Excel and Access to find and manually move unique entries from 18 different study.not files to a Master not file. However, when I came to entries of different sizes for the same Bible verse, these I have put aside as this is a very involved manual process.

Thanks and God Bless,
