Guest Meta Cat Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I provide help to many people who do not have Broadband so I need the Catalog to cope with the size and volume of updates. I had written a tool which parsed the XML file, sorted the updates into ascending date and worked out which was relevant to the system - very basic - Win98 or XP. It also chose the latest cumulative updates for the regular items - IE, OE... Can anyone tell me where the information now is? BTW re: new catalog - I do think that as well as a search we really do need a way of saying what system we want (i.e. select as well as search) the updates for - XP, Vista, XP 64 and for me the search would always default to descending date order.
