Mplus Version 6 Editor Update

The Mplus Version 6 Editor Update fixes the following issues in the editor for Mplus Version 6: the file dialogs for File Open and File Save As can no longer be resized as in previous versions, the Find Next function does not advance correctly in 64-bit versions, line and column numbers do not appear in the status bar as in previous versions, and the Mplus Editor is no longer backwards compatible with GPH files created from previous Mplus versions. The problem can be found on Mplus Version 6 CDs and downloads of the Mplus Version 6 updates between April 26 and May 11.

To verify that this update is needed, open the Mplus Editor and click on Help -> About. If the About Mplus dialog does not show the Mplus icon next to the version information, then the update is needed. If the Mplus icon does appear next to the version information, check the FileVersion field for the Mpluswin.exe file (locate the Mpluswin.exe file in the Mplus installation directory, then right-click and select Properties). If the FileVersion field shows 6.0.0.4, then the update is not necessary.
