   Because it's a rewrite from scratch, rather than an improved version, and   
   there are differences in how they can be used.  CiderPress is a Windows MFC   
   app that can run in WINE on other systems, CiderPress II is a .NET app that   
   (for now) has a Windows GUI    
   and a broadly executable command-line interface.  Explaining how to use them   
   to somebody else is easier if the recipient doesn't need to know that   
   everything changed in v5.   
      
   Besides, ciderpress2.com was available. :-)   
      
   The debate that I expect will engage scholars for generations is "CiderPress   
   II" vs. "CiderPress 2" vs. "CiderPress ][".
