Subject   st: Updates for "off-line" Stata users

I use Stata on a PC that cannot be connected to a network because it 
contains confidential data.  As a result, I rely on the "off-line" 
updates for users who do not have access to the Internet from *within 
Stata*.  These updates are found at the following web page:
  http://www.stata.com/support/updates/stata8.html

Question:  Why are the ADO file updates for "off-line" users not 
refreshed as often as for the updates for "online" users who can update 
directly from within Stata?

Currently, the page http://www.stata.com/support/updates/stata8/ado/ 
shows the last ADO update (for "off-line" users) as 24 Apr 2003.  Yet for 
the "online" users, if you perform an 'update query' within Stata, you 
will find that the latest available update is 12 May 2003.  (I just did 
this on another machine.)  And, there was also a 29 Apr 2003 update before 
that!

I do not know if this same discrepancy exists for the executable files.

Any ideas?  Stata Corp., can you make the updates available to both types 
of users at the same time?  I would greatly appreciate this.
