   I'll have to try to remember to check the dates on the versions I'm   
   playing... I think they may be a little later than that... I know that   
   over the years, I did see some updates for a while... And the game as it   
   is plays nicely... The sysop can add words to the dictionary, when   
   requested or as he sees fit... mark added in updates from later   
   Official Scrabble dictionaries to the version he had... and passed that   
   along to Shawn for the version he's running on Ezycom, which by the way   
   is also still being updated, IIRC....
