Malcolm, I'm just catching up here, but my VFP loader is only 26k, and I don't see any performance hit by using it. Essentially all it does is look into the apps folder, finds the highest numbered product EXE and runs it (but it could do other things). Separately, maintenance is downloaded/distributed in the form of a higher numbered [release.version.build] EXE, and the setup works just fine. Maybe I missed the part about your concerns or special needs?

I think that's a very reasonable size for a loader. > > Malcolm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
