AbelCam is much more than just writing software and make it available for download.
There are numerous services required:

Superb thanks for that. I thought I did tell it to check for updates, but I will go to the site and get the latest.
Thanks for clearing up my format..
If you're not "on the beta line" (IOW, if the version you're running was a general release) then Check For Updates won't pick up betas. I believe this..
Good idea about the whole beta/general release thing.
Installed the new version and all is well in the world again.
Thanks again!..
