A programmer should feel free to update his program whenever he wishes. Why should he have a buggy version in use by thousands of people when he has found fixes for the bugs? Personally, I appreciate a programmer who fixes and improves his program regularly. What is the down side? If the programmer has found bugs why should he wait for self-appointed, unsolicited, "testers" to tell him about them? How, exactly, are you inconvenienced by his updates? Regards, John
