[Dx4win] DX4WIN Updates

[Jim Rhodes]

I saw these messages come across and didn't remember when I last saw
updates, so I opened up my save directory and saw that there were new .dat
files in there from Oct. 23rd. So I am up to date. But when I type
"version" in the call field and tab the date that comes up is Oct. 16th,
the date I updated to version 9.07.
