Hi!

I'd like to implement automatic update into my input plugin.
As I don't know about a built-in plugin update function in WinAmp (is there any?), I'm learning about implementing my own.
What if the plugin downloads a new version of itself from my homepage (http://www.hardsid.com)? How can it replace itself? (unload, replace file, load library/itself again)

if it is really a windows module you are developing then you need to implement on your own. All the unload, replace blah blah can be achieved using programming technique.
