Setup doesn't need any changes - the source: tag has all the functionality Chuck needs now. It'll only download the file once (well, there are some corner cases, but relatively few and far between). > I don't remember if Robert already indicated which method > he'd prefer.

I think that the easiest way is to allow setup.hint: to include the literal source: tag. As far as setup.ini's lex and yacc rules, any valid path is ok, so there is no need to consider adding a new tag. Rob
