Q: Why would you download TB if you are already running it?
A: Because you know an update is available.
Q: Why would you download TB if you have already updated, thus
probably downloading the same version you have already on your machine?
A: I don't know. ;-)
However, since the downloads are always either zip files (on the beta
site) or self-extracting exe's, it should in fact be no problem to
call the compressed file "tb141.exe", which extracts into thebat.exe
and some dll's. Or "bat141b5.zip". As a matter of fact, I always
rename the compressed files right after download and before
extracting.
Q: Why do I rename the file to show the version number, right after
download?
A: Because I keep the previous version (in compressed form) for a while
until I am sure the new version really causes no problems. :-)
