Yup, no problem.

So after your pointer to the mailing lists, I have read a little more=20
and it it looks like to me that I should probably do something like:

On the client side: sdx update
And on the server side: sdx starsync

So presumably, I could embed the equivalent of those commands into my=20
server and client applications to do the automatic updating I want.

This week has been busy and I haven't gotten back to try a test on this=20
yet but I will.  A few questions to help me get started:
- Am I on the right track?
- Is the server side meant to stand alone?  Or is it supposed to be set=20
up as a cgi script under a web server?
- Is there already a reference example or tutorial somewhere for this?
