No problem. You are welcome. :-) I don’t know if this helps. But whenever packages have been updated on the repo, the repository management software builds a new cdrom.iso late that night which contains only the latest versions of all the packages on the repo. It also updates a listing.csv that contains a list of those packages and their metadata. Both can be found in the root dir of the repo at https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/latest/ <https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/latest/> Also, there is a listing.txt file. It is tab separated. It doesn't contain all the metadata and is much smaller than the csv. However, it is probably a little easier to parse with scripts. :-) Jerome
