"The best" depends largely on what you want. If all you want is a
updater for the DEF files it's easy to write or use a simple batch
file for either FTP.EXE or for the internet file fetcher WGET.EXE.
If you want auto-updating of new versions, it's a bit more involved
since a program must be used which can analyze the contents of the FTP
site and keep track of version numbers. My web site offers a free
proggy to do just this. It also offers a more elaborate proggy which
does quite a bit more ... the F-Pup download.
There have been other F-Prot for DOS updaters available as well. I
have no idea as to their current availability or features. Some have
allowed for user selection of FTP sites whereas my updaters currently
use only the FSI primary FTP site.
