right so now we got libraries full of iso files and an application that calculates differences.
so what we need is an on-line application that calculates the required differences from user inputs of request, with md5sums also calculated and available for download. perhaps also saves the calculated requests for further request use. i.e we want to automate the difference and md5sum calculation process. anyone up for it?
we have offers of capable hosts.

sounds great.....

but way over my head, sorry

though I just may be able to use it, if anyone does....

the front end web part and database management is easy.
the part that i haven't attempted is passing web input variables to a puppy application then executing things in puppy and then returning the output/addresses to the web from within puppy. anyone got an example php script and bash code?, or at least anyone know if it is possible?

I've been thinking some more. sorry,I dont mean to do it it just happens:
write the user request to a file and have a cron job that reads the file and does the xdelta business every X minutes. advise the requestor to come back and check for the requested file in (X + n x Delta) minutes.
havent done cron jobs before but this what understand is possible.
