I trust taco-man, but I'd be more worried about someone else modifying the auto-updater and posting it somewhere else on the internet and doing mischievious things. We'll need to slap a bunch of "if you didn't get this from eq2interface.com" warning everywhere we link the auto-updater. If the auto-updater had the power to update itself, a malicious version that grabs a really nasty executable and runs it could be bad news.

yes, i would never want to make it update itself for this specific reason.

also here is a quick look at adding in the html update notes thing. the style of text and stuff can be changed easily its just an html file. i just threw it together real quick to get an idea of what it will look like. in fact you can even see the actual html file at http://maps.eq2interface.com/updates.html

ok here is the picture you will have to ignore the tiling background, i havent changed the size yet.
Pictuer removed, since its so old.
