Check for updates...

[Paul Salyers]

Dear Rev User,

Anyone here have a sample stack I could look at that will check for update 
programs and if an update is found make a dl link active?

I have an ideal by having a file on the server and in the folder with the 
program. Both files are read and the contents are stored in different 
fields then compared, if the fields are the same than no update is ready, 
id their different then there is a update and a dl link will appear. The 
only problem I'm having is I don't know how to read a file from the web 
server without first dl it.

Is there another way?
