•  Description: WHAT IT IS FOR
  **************
  
  I used to check over a dozen websites each day to see if new versions of the software I use had been released. This was time consuming and error prone. VerCheck automates this
  process by checking the websites of the programs you use to see if the version numbers have changed. It comes preconfigured from the factory with 64 applications.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  ************
  
  For each application, you give the URL of a page to check.
  You also specify some string that is on the page, usually
  containing the version number. If this string is not
  present, presumably something has changed. You have to then
  manually figure out what, and install the new software, then
  adjust VerCheck to look for the new version number.
  
  USE
  ***
  
  To add a new application hit (+), then enter an application
  name, an URL and the marker -- an expected response string
  that will be embedded in the web page returned if the
  version has not changed.
  
  Click"Check-for-New-Versions to check the entire list of
  applications to see if any have changed.
  
  Click Restore-Defaults to restore the factory setting
  URLs, and markers. You would do this most commonly after
  using a new updated version of VerCheck. Your own app
  settings won't be affected, but any of the factory apps will
  be updated.
  
  You can adjust the widths of the columns by dragging the
  separator lines between the column headers.
  
  This utility is an implementation of the Version Checker
  student project described at
  http://mindprod.com/project/versionchecker.html
  
  The results of daily running this utility with the factory
  settings are posted at:

  ADVANCED USE
  ************
  
  you can use Java regular expressions in the marker field for
  matching. Just prefix them with the string regex:
  e.g. regex:version[- ]+9.9
