Due to the complete lack of intelligence by Aladdin on this upgrade, many
people have not upgraded to Deluxe 5.0 yet. The company put out Deluxe
before Expander, which is really strange since Expander is used more
often than Deluxe for decoding downloads. You may just want to wait until
everybody _can_ upgrade before encoding in v5.0 format.
