Geocoding Wizard.

been fixed.
Open Dialog displayed wrong extension
If you tried to open a saved drawing or a mapexchange layer, you
had to change the setting to "all files". Now the extension list is correct.
Restored Print on the File menu
Bug introduced in 5.0.3 if only one dataset was installed, Print was not available on the File menu. This
is fixed.
Point Importer can be run from inside DE
Prior to this fix you first had to run the Point Importer from the Start Menu before running it inside DE. This is fixed.
