Glad it worked out for you.

It currently works by my making sure to symlink "horae-latest.tar.gz"
to whatever the latest version of the tarball is and by making sure to
extract the HORAE file from the tar ball and place it, too, on the
server.  I am a little worried about my actually remembering to do the
things each time!

Attached is an improvement (even though I said I wasn't going to work
on it -- I get obsessed and can't really help myself ;-)  It uses wget
to fetch a listing of the directory where the tarballs live and
determines the most recent version to download.  That seems easier for
me.

The script is highly dependent on wget.  That could be a problem on
non-linux unix machines.  One obvious improvement would be to allow
using some other program to grab the file.  Another possibility would
be to write a similar script in perl or python so you could build a
web client right into the script.

Let me know if this works for you and I'll post it on the web site.
