This is wrong. Only the specific 'Chessbase' program itself can be updated
from within the program. _All_ other CB programs just link either
to a CB index site only, or to a CB registration process.
There is no update link and no automatic update process within any of them,
except the first named one. May be _you don't_ have the programs the previous,
poster mentioned?
