Hello, Douglas!

DGD> I use Firefox and Thunderbird for my browser and email.
DGD> They have a nice automatic mechanism for releasing updates
DGD> and restarting the system right back at the point where you
DGD> left off.

DGD> It occurs to me that this would be a nice feature for Blackbox
DGD> when coupled to Component Pascal Collections (CPC).
DGD> I could see a window occur , say when you start BB, that says
DGD> "New modules are available for xxx would you like to load them now?"
DGD> You would have a check list of subsystems previously specified of those
DGD> subsystems in which you are interested (the full list would be updated
DGD> behind the scenes when you started BB). Interdependency of modules
DGD> would have to be maintained so that a working set would always be
DGD> on your system.

DGD> The benefits of automatic updates would be to keep the BB community
DGD> in sync. It would also allow Oberon Microsystems a mechnism for maintaining
DGD> the BB core.

DGD> Comments?

  A fascinating prospect, Douglas.
