I just tried downloading the new grep package in one setup.exe run and then installing it in another. Until I deleted the old setup.ini in the base directory, I got message IDS_OLD_SETUPINI when I tried to install from the local directory. It looks like the setup.ini routines in ini.cc and iniparse.y are overwriting setup_timestamp and setup_version with the last setup.ini file read. If that happens to be the newest, everyone is happy. If it isn't things could be confused. Would it be worthwhile for me to try to make sure only the newest setup.ini gets used? -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
