I know that wget or curl can do this kind of things, thanks. I haven't gone that way yet for two reasons:

1) I really, really couldn't believe that this case (one drupal install
   for several sites, each one with its own database) had been ignored
   or forgotten by the developers. I haven't even seen anywhere any 
   official announcement that such a way to use Drupal would have
   become deprecated with Drupal 5. Did I miss such an announcement?
2) I am not going to play with several *live* websites, risking to
   mess them up, to make an untested procedure work. Not until there
   is the slightest possibility that a tested way to make this upgrade
   comes up (I can't obtain more databases right now on that server).

Is it at least possible to know for *sure*, before trying it, if
running that procedure through ONE of the websites currently managed by
Drupal 4.7.6 will upgrade all the others?

Thanks,
D.
