If you read this thread, email me (just remove ~nospam~).
I have completely scripted the process using the Kixtart Script Interpreter (
http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare) such that the process automatically determines what
the PRESENT DAT revision is and will then download the McAfee SuperDAT accordingly.
