>From my own experience, I recommend Richard's approach - something similar
to his RevNet.  This will give you a way to get corrected or revised stacks
to users easily, as well as new stacks you think up later.  A user can
download your existing standalone set of stacks in a single archive file.
Then, when a web connection is available, the standalone can check for
updates.  My approach is described at
