The last time I was without Internet access I was visiting my
father in a small town in Pennsylvania. But I'd take my
computer and walk over to Main Street, just a few blocks
away, and I could access 5-6 different networks, all without
a password. (Small town America, I guess.) Gave me exercise
AND an Internet. Best of both worlds. :-)
Cheers,
David

Isn't there an option to download a zip file and install later - I
don't have IDL in front of me right now... Then you can select the
zip file to "install from local" later, or on other computers...

Bill,
wow, this was quick to fix! I was wondering whether the update feature is
the only way to get the update installed? I prefer an alternative way to
download a file, which can be used when access to the net is not available.
Will this be possible in the future?
Thanks,
Haje

Strange - when I run it, it flies up through the percentages, and
practically skips from 97% to being complete and disappearing off into
the sunset. I'm one of the lucky ones, obviously! :-)

Does working for the guvmint classify as an extreme case? Where I work, if this sort of
update mechanism isn't already frowned upon -- if not disallowed (from local IT security
all the way to the DHS) -- it probably soon will be once they find out.
It would be nice to have an alternative set up so as to avoid midnight visits from various
and sundry federal law enforcement agencies that this sort of thing could engender.
