Gents:
I followed the lead of Ashley who informed me that you can patch to version 2.01 without negatively impacting current PBeM matches... and it worked!
I conducted a "clean" install. First, I uninstalled JTCS... than reinstalled the game and patched up to version 2.01. It took me approximately one hour to complete and I also backed up all patches onto CD-ROM's (Highly recommended!) Than, I was able to continue my PBeM matches without losing a beat!
And yes! The "classic" menu bar has returned!
