If it's my copy, I'll patch it however I want. And what's this about "illegal"? Piracy is a moral, not a legal, issue. And I don't believe that it is illegal to patch your own copy - just illegal to give someone else the game. >Thomas Tavoly, Commercial Computer Science - HEAO Utrecht, NL. / / / --SeebS-- (Still not Linda Seebach) -- mndaily is the Minnesota Daily, and does not speak for the U of M.
