Since 6.22 is usually available as an upgrade, many people had the old
files on their system.  I can verify that it didn't come with 6.22, and had
the same problem.

The more serious issue I had was that the CD came with minimal instructions
but no code wheels, and at least one of the series (Ultima VI, I think) still
has the copy protection.  Is there a file somewhere that has this?  Sort
of frustrating.
