i do of course read those files (which require daily checking to confirm
usually no relevant changes, but thats another issue!)..
however i don't need to read UPDATING on every box, (this tool is an
assistent, not a replacement, for monitored updates.)
i do need to check that an update that went fine on the initial test box
will behave the same on other boxes, which is my question,
can i tell if the options dialog is going to be invoked?
thanks
Paul.
