Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable version upgrade autonomously and quickly at a terminal side even if the version control of a program is not conducted at a server side, and further to eliminate the need for the version upgrade of unused programs. SOLUTION: When activating a program A.exe at the terminal, the server is inquired for a version number or time stamp of the latest version of A.exe. When a newer version than the self-version is present in the server, the latest version An.exe is downloaded to store it in a working directory, then a loader. exe is activated to terminate A.exe. The loader.exe overwrites the An.exe of the working directory on the A.exe of an execution directory, and activates and terminates the An.exe.
