Quite. I read the following post from guru a while back: "Yes, an update for CFMX is on the way. No, it is not a full service-pack, rather, it is a new update mechanism that will allow patches or fixes to be applied safely and easily. This will not be a one time update, the intent is to provide a means by which to get important updates and fixes to customers as quickly as possible whenever the need arises.
Along with the updater will be an initial set of updates. We're still doing some testing, so no final details yet, but as an FYI, here is some of what is included in the first update:" Which seems to imply that is an updater in the windows update vein by virtue of "new update mechanism". Oh well, can't blame the author, he only works for MM and has written most of the CF books on the planet. ;-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Rich Wild [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 12 December 2002 10:27 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] CFMX Updater 2 > > > Thats why its confusing that MM have called it an updater.
