Updating Custom Packages through Update URL

[David McFarlane]

Chris,

Thanks for the update.

Hmm, still seems a bit ambiguous to me.  Does "specify an internet 
address used to obtain updates to the package file" mean you will 
click on the link and then E-Prime will automatically take care of 
the rest (do the install, etc.), which is what I thought you hoped 
for here, or does it mean you click on the link to go to a website, 
and from there manually download the package, install it, etc., which 
is what I suspect it means.  If merely the latter, seems to me that 
you could accomplish much the same thing just by writing a link into 
some comments in the Package, but maybe I am missing something.

I think we will just have to wait and see what it really does after 
they implement it.
