Ah, screen scraping. Very cool! In fact, it is so cool that I think we should rewrite "prepare" in Perl and incorporate your logic. Then most of the URL download comments could be generic. Something like this: :: URL|generic|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=somthing&displaylang=en|updates/ie6sp1 Then we could eliminate most of the comments with direct download locations. Of course, this presupposes we have someone willing to maintain the screen-scraping logic should Microsoft change the format of their pages. What do you think? Not for this release, though :-). - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
