[AG-TECH] FW: Videum problem

[Thomas D. Uram]

The service updates are new zip files, so you can just place them in 
C:\Program Files\AGTk2.3\NodeServices and use them.

If you are trying to update with .py files from CVS, you'd have to 
update the .zip file as you said, and then increment the version number 
in the .svc file.  I would recommend you stick with the package updates 
that are provided, though.
