The procedure i have described is for *NIX machine not for win. But the idea is as follows: 1) get the current version of the scripts (with cvs -uD) cvs is a concurent versioning system tool. Also you can get the updated version from sf.net web based cvs tree. For you more important are the updates scripts. these scripts are called like ws2k3-updates.bat
2) the check and prepare scripts are used to see if something is changed and/or missing and get it from somewhere. 3) with perl you can parse the *-updates.bat files to pick only the necessary urls and after that to feed them to some sort of downloader. As far as i know wget has win version and is a prety good tool. you don't need cygwin if you just want to stay current on the updates The task of syncyng the updates could be automated and i strongly advise on that > > procedure is as follows > > cd /scripts > cvs -uD > ./check > ./prepare > > the interesting files are > -updates.bat > they have the links in them.
