[Dxbase] PJ and UA problem

Fri Sep 10 15:48:32 EDT 2010

I am working on an update function for dxb2007. I am considering making to
be fed from my server so that all I would have to do in the future is change
a file and ask you to rerun the DXB update program. Is this satisfactory
(having to have an internet connection when running the utility)?
I will make it so that if it finds the file that specifies the update in the
program folder, it will ask the user what he wants to do.
