Hello all. This
message is directed mainly toward Bruce, but if anyone else has any
suggestions, please feel free to contribute.
For a while now, I have been using Athena and Artemis on my
work computer with a broadband internet connection, and all the updates have
auto-detected and installed without a hitch. The problem is that now, I want to use
the programs on my home computer, for which I am simply too cheap to buy
anything better than dialup service. The updater, unfortunately, has choked several
times when trying to download and install the 9 updates it says I need. (In fact, one time the echo screen
stated that all the updates were installed, but when I restarted and opened
Athena and Artemis, I was confronted with the old versions of the programs.) I haven’t seen any “new and
fully updated windows installers” on either Matt’s or Bruce’s
pages, and it isn’t clear to me how to get at the update files without
the assistance of the updater itself.
(I seem to recall reading that one can simply unzip the ifup_00x.zip
file in the Ifeffit directory, run make_bats.exe, and all will be well.) Is there a way I can use the broadband
connection at school to grab the updates and install them myself on the home
computer without the use of the updater?
Or, is there a place that the updater stores the .zip files after it’s
done updating the program, so I can just grab them off the work computer? Thanks for your help!
