I'm the idiot that deleted that stuff, and if you had read the followup posting to it, you would see why. Unfortunately, due to some lack of familiarity with the software, the Neosoft crew didn't realize what all was required to make patchkit patches that can be installed and de-installed cleanly. These patches WILL be released when they are cleaned up and put into the proper format, but buggy patches are worse than patches that don't do anything. Hold onto your horses, the world isn't going to end before the patches get out. Nate ps. If you have questions on the patchkit, read the announcement posted last Friday by Jordan Hubbard, or send him email at jkh@whisker.lotus.ie -- osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | Still trying to find a good reason for nate@cs.montana.edu | these 'computer' things.
