            Data and Cache Updates
----------------------

Remote datasets and remote cache files are updated from time to time as it is our aim to provide
only the very latest version of the data.  This means we (a) do not support multiple versions of
a dataset (you must obtain earlier versions of any published data sets elsewhere), (b) as GMT
detects a new version on the server it will download it the next time you access the remote data
set and it will overwrite any previous version, and (c) any data set or file we deem obsolete will
be removed from the server, and hence it will also be removed from your .gmt server and cache
folders when the syncing occurs.  This is particularly true of the cache files that may come and go.
If there are any cache files there that are important to you then we recommend you place a copy
of them in another folder. Syncing occurs at most once a day and only when you actively use GMT.
