Preston, I can't keep up with all the numbers for SYSLEVEL, but here's
a simpler check:

Just type in INETVER.  If it gives a version somelike 4.02x (x is
anything) you still have the 16 bit version that came with Warp 4.  If
it gives a 3-4 line result with 3 components identified, you have the
8610/4.1 level. If you're not sure (or we can't figure it out) then the
safest way to update this is to get WR08423 (that's a full refresh of
the version 4 stack) and install that before you apply the new
all-in-all update.  That should meet all the requirements.

I tried the 8610 (wr08610_conv) and it was OK, but no world shaker. 
There were a few bugs in it.  The 4.1 upgrade is not free and REQUIRES
Java to configure.  I have it on here but I see no huge difference on
my little setup.  On the production servers at work it's a different
story - there is a world of difference on a loaded server but I doubt
that this would apply to your situation.  Unless you have already
applied 8610 ( and it does not look like you have), I wouldn't bother. 
You'll get just as good a result by sticking to the Ver 4 stack.  Apply
8423 just to be sure where you are, then UN_0980.

If you are thinking of allowing net access to the BBS, you might
consider 8610 (or 4.1).  The security is better and, in general, the
ftp and telnet daemons are much better and more secure - but that's
another topic.

If you can't find the wr08423 fix anymore, I can send it to you via
email or upload it if you have an ftp server up.  It's 6 floppy images,
a good 8-9 meg.  Good, solid release.  Anyway, see what inetver reports
and we can go from there.

Quick comments on your syslevel dump:  

Java 1.1.8 is a good 25% or more faster than 1.1.6.

Feature installer ver. 1.25 is current and required for most current
installs.
