Symlinks are fine but in a webpage but not having an ls -l facility you can never be sure where they are pointing. What is wrong with using a filelist as in the /release directory then download the latest build with wget. See following example: wget http://www.4front-tech.com/release/`GET \ http://www.4front-tech.com/release/filelist.v40 |grep Linux-i386 |\ gawk '{print $2}' -` regards, Clive _______________________________________________ oss-devel mailing list oss-devel@mailman.opensound.com http://mailman.opensound.com/mailman/listinfo/oss-devel
