I seem to remember "no". But as deleting files is difficult I didn't feel like loading up my system with non-existent locos. Also we had a group (well four<G>) and I wanted all to get "time on"

That would work and be easier to implement that my suggestion. When DecoderPro runs it could determine if it's updated decoder files recently. If not, it could check sourceforge for updates. It
