Here is a version that we have used that works great too - http://www.utdallas.edu/~pauls/scripts.html for updating DATs, Engines, etc.Also, if you are interested... Here is an automated batch script that only works on NT/2K for checking for new .DAT files via FTP. Just set it up on AT or MSTASK and you should be good to go..
