O.P. RE: MsgPlus! Patch policy?
My original question was with regard to a feature that did not include any real infrindgements to Microsoft.

Removing an advertisement, obviously, is.

Having read the follow-up posts now, I must say, I do agree, NOT to include any special patches, as this is, in fact, a complete different way of approach than Plus!

Hence, my original question about Patchou's patch policy.

To conclude, I do agree, Plus! should NOT incorporate a patch program -- that's why they are there for anyway.

It is good that Plus! is 'only' being an add-on, more than patching around the dll or resources, I believe.

Not only does this ensure a good relation-ship with Microsoft, but, perhaps even more importantly for the end user: a stable add-on that will WORK under any circumstances.

Remeber that patching is ALWAYS at the end user's risk and own responsibility.

Good night! :)

Good choice, I think the best way to promote your patch is to include it in MessPatch by mess.be ;)

Well, Rolando is going to include something similar he told me.

I am going to post the "manual" patch way later on on my site, but I found it more important to make an automated post, so that everybody can enjoy it.  Resources patchers generally figure these things out quite fast anyhow ;)
