	You might try looking into PUP, Paragon Updating Program from Paragon
Concepts (the guys who do QUED and NISUS).  I believe that Scott Watson tried
using it for Red Ryder 10.x but seem to recall some minor problems with it, but
they may have fixed them, or Watson may have messed something up.  Anyway,
it exists and thought I'd pass the word along...
