Good thought Deep.

I've never used either PackageMaker or read all the documentation  
( and it requires a read of both the "Software Delivery Guide" and the  
"PackageMaker User Guide" ). My shareware is basically a one file  
install that is best-suited ( according to Apple too ) to manual  
installs ( i.e. where the user just drags the app to the target  
directory of their choice ). Besides being more than I need for normal  
installs, PackageMaker does have a learning curve ( admittedly writing  
code to do the update has a learning curve too but writing code is  
more fun ) and I'm reluctant to use it only for the update portion.  
Thanks for reminding me of this option.
