ABOUT INSIDER UPDATEAGENT
Insider UpdateAgent takes an inventory of every application and operating
system program on a Macintosh computer and determines precisely which
software updaters are required to bring the system up-to-date. It gets its
update information and programs from a repository maintained by Insider
Software on high-speed Internet servers and CDs. Insider builds the
repository by constantly monitoring, extracting and cataloging updaters
from over 2,000 Macintosh developer web sites. The Standard and Limited
Editions of Insider UpdateAgent are online versions that download an
application catalog from Insider's web site, then download relevant
updaters. The CD version accesses the catalog and updaters directly off the
program CD.
