Thorsten - I am sending an attachment file separately, direct to your
address .
As regards switching between UB & X, I documented the effects of the
various versions a couple of months ago on this forum, and reproduce
that here now:

I have now installed in my applications folder:
CADintosh 5.5.3 (creation date 2007-03-16)
CADintosh 6X (creation date 2008-04-07)
CADintosh 6 UB (creation date 2008-06-07)
CADintosh 6.1 beta (creation date 2009-03-18)
CADintosh 6.1.1b0UB (creation date 2009-05-28)
The dates are probably when I downloaded/installed them, rather than
your compilation dates, but they help to get things in chronological
order.
I generally use the latest version available (as long as it is
reasonable stable), but keep the older ones installed in case I have
to go back.
regards
Rowland
