Hi Chuck,

I've been exploring Corp. WU. When you select the patches
you wish to download, CWU automatically "packages" them in
an inconvenient directory tree. Do you know if there is a
way to utilize this "package" in your script, or will I
need to fish out all of the patches into one directory,
and simply use the old style script that lists every patch
and adds QChain at the end?

Thanks,
George
