In that case, shouldn't 'scribe update' actually update all the software
on the system except for sorcery rather that just downloading an updated
grimoire w/o the installation, and 'scribe queue' rather than 'sorcery
queue'.  Some other command for just downloading the updated grimoire.
Basically scribe doing everything related to the grimoire, and sorcery
doing everything elated to sorcery, with the one exception being
'sorcery system-update' which would be the same as calling scribe update
followed by socrery update.

|  I started a thread on this, in sm-discuss, several weeks ago, asking
|  what people thought, and if anyone had any other suggestions. Anyone
|  that did not agree with switching the meaning of 'sorcery update' (as
|  I recall only one, or two, people were against it) had no suggestion
|  as to what we could name these different functions instead. Several
|  other people (not many more) said it was fine to switch it.
|
|  I know not many people responded, so It doesn't really seem like that
|  big of a deal. However I don't think 'switching' them, as you say, makes
|  any sense at all.
|
|  So I personally deliberated over this after not getting much of a
response,
|  and decided that this is the logical way to issue the commands.
|
|  scribe controls the grimoire. You run scribe update to update the
|  grimoires. sorcery controls the scripts. You run sorcery update to
update
|  the scripts.
