Danny, can you manage a (say) weekly production of a most-recent-release to stable diff set and a binary upgrade kit for same? I realise that this is a fairly big ask in terms of disk space, so if you can't, are there any takers? It sounds like this would be a Very Popular thing. It would not take a great deal of looking-after once it was in place, and you wouldn't have to host it, just produce it. > Danny -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
