There seems to be a lot of smoke about Tail patches but when it all
boils down, there is only one real answer.  If Apple does it, IN MY
OPINION, it must be possible, non-breakable in future and above all
sanctioned.
	So, if you can find out how Apple does it, understand how
it is being done and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, emulate their method EXACTLY,
you should be OK!
	To that end I would strongly advise people to purchase the
MacApp source listings to MacApp 2.0 and follow their nose.

NO GUARANTEES ON MY PART. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL MESSAGE OF ANY 
SORT.  It appears a workable solution to me and whats more I
couldn't post it if I wanted to but check it out and maybe
this blather about No, it can't be done or Yes, it can be done
will subside to a dull roar.

Wow! Am I gald I got that off my chest. . .
