4.01rc1 with sp4 Resources

[Derek Balling]

The confusion comes from the fact that to MOST of the world "sp" is 
"Service Pack", (e.g., 4.01sp3 would be LATER than 4.01, it would be 
4.01 with 3 bug-fixes applied).

In Omni parlance "sp" is "Sneaky Peek", which means that 4.01sp4 is 
OLDER than 4.01

"rc" (release candidate) usually fills the role that Omni's sp's do, 
but since they do both, you have to figure out the "order of 
progression" (e.g., sp1, sp2, sp3, sp4, rc1, sp5? rc2?, etc.)

Confusing, but probably a lot less confusing if we were actually 
supposed to SEE the sp's, because we'd probably be getting daily 
e-mail updates explaining "this is the new version, it is named 
<foo>, and a newer version <bar> will be coming out tomorrow unless 
the beta testers find serious bugs in this today".
