Jim,
I had not updated the updater since the one dated 5/2011 and that one was
not causing any problems. I updated to the latest version and I now see the
"need to update" issue each time. Running XP Home SP3.

Good news:
I pulled out my laptop running Windows XP which is fully up-to-date on
fixes and I can duplicate the problem there too.
Bad news:
The fix I tried, which makes the program work on Windows XP, does NOT
work on Windows 7.
1. If you have the update problem, were you running Windows XP or
Windows Vista/7?
2. Does anyone running Windows XP *NOT* have the problem? This is
also important information.
I know the Perl libraries have some issues with Daylight Savings Time.
I thought I had fixed this last fall, but apparently not. It may not
be fully fixable without re-writing the program using a Microsoft
compiler, which I just don't have time to do.
Maybe the fix is something like "if the file on the web sit differs
*MORE* than one hour from the file on the computer, then it needs
updating." I hadn't thought of this as a possible solution until
right now. This means if I release updates, they must be more then
one hour apart. I think I can live with this restriction.
Thanks - Jim
