YAM updates the list as it goes, so should Microdot, IMO.  Of course I
have never had 1.4.15 crash on me during a download, so it has so far,
not been a problem.  I always close the program after download, an old
habit from earlier versions that did not update anything until the
program was closed.  That is just habit, and not necessary anymore.
