I just got an email off list asking if it would be better, and more 
logical, to switch the New Version and Old Version columns.  Let me know 
what you think makes the most sense and I will switch those columns if I 
need to do so.  For some reason, in my mind, I think To this From this, 
which is why I chose to have New Version listed first.

Thanks,
Justin
