Hello Mark,

Are you a programmer, thinking of implementing a web update?

It would be as simple as having an html, asp, php, (etc...) file on
your web server that your program would query with a version number
and read the results, and another URL (or the same one with a
different query string) that would forward you to the download of the
update file.


You can make sure your web site or other Internet/network services are
running with
First Alert Service Monitor. Available here:

Kind Regards,
Bill Krahmer
