  There are two places where you can get the W2H interface from. Both should have the same copy of the latest available version.

Online Update

Starting with W2H-4.1.1, it is possible to update the source code via util.online-update.
This tool is available in the download section.
In order to run an online update, put this perl script in your W2H directory and run it from the command-line. With the default parameter settings, this program is interactive, asking for each update.

DESCRIPTION

This program does an online update of the W2H source code.

It connects to the W2H source code server (www.w2h.dkfz-heidelberg.de), and downloads the available updates to a spool sub-directory.

Then it compares the files in the spool directory and the W2H installation, to find files that should be updated.

By default, this program is interactive, i.e. each file update requires a manual confirmation.


OPTIONS

--help
Print a brief help message and exits.

--nodownload
Don't connect to the internet and download the latest files.

--dry-update
Do not modify any installed W2H file, but show what files would be modified with this update.

Use it together with --nodownload to disable the internet connection, too.

--auto
By default, this program is interactive and requires a terminal. With --auto set, no interactiion is performed and the answer to all questions will be ``yes''.

--verbose
Increase verbosity of this program.

--logfile filename
All messages of this program will be sent to a logfile (by default online-update.log). You can change the filename with this option.

Use /dev/null to disable logging.
