I have a corollary question. Can setup.exe deal with multi-line ldesc's? If not then we need to do some variation of 2. >Oh, and one other thing: update-setup doesn't parse the "category" or >"requires" entry from the hint file. Right. I mentioned this a while ago and Robert submitted a patch for this but, frankly, I am not really looking for update-setup patches. I'm not going to guarantee that update-setup is around for the long haul. That's one reason why it is not publicly available. cgf
