Hi John, welcome to the club..I'm a newbie too and I can't answer your
first question, but there is some info about your second question in
the Vassal reference manual..click on the HOME link in the ref manual.
Here is the releveant section:
Module Updaters
Since VASSAL modules can be large in size, VASSAL provides a tool to
build compact downloads for automatically updating a module. The
updater is a file named, for example, updateMyModule.jar for a module
file named MyModule.mod. The user simply places the two files in the
same folder and double-clicks on the .jar file to update the module.
To create a module updater, move a copy of the old module file and the
new module file into your VASSAL folder. You will need to leave the
old module file with its original name and give the new module file a
different name. Then go to a command prompt and type
java -cp lib/Vengine.jar VASSAL.tools.ZipUpdater oldModuleFile
newModuleFile
