Hi Thomas ,thanks for info - I think that there are 2 separate problems:
1)Update manager loops when it encounters errors in updates (it should
issue error warning or return to status-quo rather than looping)
2)Why are some 'updates' issued with errors in them ? Possibly one of
the library files is wrong.
Kind regards,Roger
