Hi Max: I still use Jamals Install Packages script. I think that other than the Polyglot script, I don't know of anything that has changed with his scripts, and even that script is still the same, it's just that, as you mentioned, the language facility on Google has changed. By the way, there is really no difference between apps and scripts, except the terminology. A couple of years back, GW Micro decided to replace the term scripts with the term apps. I don't know why they did that, but that's the way it is. Kevin Huber
