It was all still hardcoded last time I worked on the freeware gate (year and half ago now though). But I used the PUFA utility mainly to update packages in the gate and that automatically updated the entries in the installer files, so it made it relatively easy. > But they were pretty and easy to use.

Mike you are probably right (my memory is not that good), but I don't remember setting it when I set up the s9 freeware gate and I assumed it got it at build time from the system along with the date/time. It would be nice to know though what these packages were built on ? Paul :-)
