Well, I don't know what changes a person could make to screw this up, and
I've only got one computer, so I guess I'll be okay. You must be one of the
ones who understands that it's only through the auto update feature that FS
distributes its self-destructive malware. So you're in good shape.

Sometimes people make changes where the auto update feature might not work.
Or as I said they have more then one computer. I myself never use the auto
update feature for this reason.

Dave,
Well, just so it works correctly instead of sabotaging your Jaws, which is
how some people make it sound. If the update feature is dependable, why are
people still talking about going to the FS site and downloading the latest
version when there's an update? Every update, messages fly back and forth.
Give me the URL for the download. No, go to FS and get it yourself, just as
I'd have to do for you. Does anyone know where I can find the update? And so
forth, on and on. Every time. Maybe all these people simply don't know
there's an update feature on the interface of the program? If not, how come?
Well, never mind. I sort of get that a lot of users just get the program,
install it, and fake their way through it by experimenting and asking
questions as they go, without studying a tutorial or any instructions. A
different approach from mine, I guess. Free country and all that. I guess if
I were a blind air traffic controller, I'd quickly see how there's no time
to learn a program like Jaws, unless you stopped drinking at night after a
hard day's work. Just teasing. No flaming, please.

The file size for the automatic update seems a bit smaller. Also there are
no prompts, so you can walk away while it's doing its thing.

Subject: Jaws update feature vs. downloading full update file from FS
As a new update to Jaws 9 has been released, I'm going to install it. I know
how to do this both of the ways I mention in the subject line.
However, I have never understood exactly how the two methods differ, aside
from the actions you take to do them. Naturally, even though I know how to
go to the Jaws Central area of the FS site and find the latest update file,
and then run it as an install process myself, I'm attractted to the
simplified, easier method of just using the update feature on the Help menu.
But there are always discussions on these mailing lists that make it sound
as if the two methods are substantively different, and there seem to be
;jurists who believe that using the update feature is a halfway measure that
may not properly modify your existing copy of Jaws, and may cause problems.
These people seem to believe that the only right and safe way to do an
update is to download the latest file from FS, which is a complete
replacement for the program, I think, and install it yourself.
Could anyone explain the origin of this disagreement, and shed some
practical light on the topic? As I said, if I were sure that using the
update feature were really responsible and safe, I'd certainly prefer it to
having to go to FS, download the huge file and then go through an install
wizard procedure.
teaksThanks.
