So my boss presented me with a e-mail from October from Fptech about
this new upgrade which FINALLY had the ability to print MEMO's! 
(We've been needing this for a while now and couldn't quite get any
good work arounds, right now we're using that poor mans word wrapper
that someone wrote for some simple word processing that we use to do
quotes, works fantastic).

So proceeded to the download page and downloaded the Runtime:
xdwn0d3_UX5014FullRun_16.gz

I believe there was a development version as well?  Which do I want? 
When I see development I usually think "this has the latest and
greatest but don't blame us if it breaks anything" so I assumed the
Runtime was the stable version.  I'm sure I could be wrong, so please
correct me and i'll download whichever version I need.

We're running filepro 5.0.00 on a SCO Unix box.

Would the upgrade go as follows?
1) Make sure no one is in the system
2) Extract the file into a temp directory (tar xvf filename.gz?)
3) Run some sort of install script?

Or do I place this in a directory, extract it and i'm all done?

I havn't made an attempt yet, I'm not quite sure whats going to
extract out and I don't want it to extract to the specified paths if I
don't have it in the right directory.

Looked around for a INSTALL or README file but had no luck.

So what would be the correct way to do the upgrade [without taking
down the company]?

Thanks! :)
