In your sig you have /sleepyhead v 9.1. I have v. 9.2. Where is the 9.2 download. I think I might have to reinstall as sleepyhead has stopped importing.

If you download and install sleepyhead 9.1 as an administrator when you start it it will look for and install the 9.2 update the first time you start it.

Pachyderm is correct.

The first download is for version 9.1..that's the basic version. Think of it as the basic guts that we have to start with.
Then there is an update that needs to be obtained to change the version to 0.9.2-1...if the update fails we know why and can tell people how to fix that issue. You can stop with this version if you want to.

The Patch file is sort of another update to change the version to now 9.3 (was 9.2-3)..The patch file itself has been updated.
The Patch file was designed to make the Respironics 60 series machines compatible with SleepyHead because it wasn't working at all.
Even though the Patch file was originally designed for Respironics machines...I do recommend that ResMed users also get the Patch installed. When Rich came up with the Patch file he built it off of code that Mark had stored and Mark had fixed some bugs in the S9 reports. Mark hadn't yet released the S9 bug fixes officially but when Rich built the Patch file those bug fixes got included.
It fixed the double sessions and come errors in calculations on some of the data fields...in my case the 95% numbers for leak..they had been way off when compared to ResScan. Some other minor bug fixes too.

Do you know if Mark's next update is compatible with Rich's Patch update? It may be better to wait for Mark's update for those of us who have the S9.

I have no idea about what is going on with Mark's update. I am not that computer savvy so I just haven't stayed in that loop process.
I am pretty sure that whatever Mark is doing will be compatible with what Rich as done because Rich is using Mark's base build and Mark has access to what Rich has done.

There's no critical need for S9 users to update by doing the Patch. I did it mainly to learn the steps so I could help people who had trouble with installing the Patch. Also to just learn if it did happen to fix a couple of little bugs I was having with SH..mainly the double sessions and 95% leak number discrepancy but not everyone was experiencing those little bugs.

Some people just like to try new stuff and I am one of them if it is within my skill level.

Don't ask when Mark's update will be ready. I have no idea. He will post it when it is ready. I think he was going to also try to fix that little bug requiring SH to have administrator rights to update.

Is it critical that S9 users use Rich's Patch file? No. I don't see any urgent need unless they are seeing whacko sessions times and whacko 95% numbers and it bugs them too much.
