If every program did stuff like that, using a computer would be untenable. $ gcc file.c Checking for new versions of gcc... New version of gcc found. Do you want to upgrade?

If the user believes that there's something critical going on that needs updating, the user says "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade". If the user believes that Emacs under Windows needs updating, the user will download the zip file as usual. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
