This program will let you quickly check if there are new versions of any of your apps. Read the precis to understand how it works. Or just click Check For New Versions to see if there are any new versions for any of the default set of applications. The results are summarised at the utilities entry in plain HTML.
I update the code for Vercheck frequently, sometimes several times a day. The means the downloaded version will soon be out of date. Download it primarily if you want to study or modify it yourself. The easiEST way to use it to monitor the standard list of application or your own applications is to run it as an Applet getting its jar each time from the http://mindprod.com/applet directory.
This program is an implementation of the VerCheck student project outline. Reading it will help you understand how this program works. If you are a Java programmer curious how the program works, you can either download the source or view source code in JDisplay format.
