- trial and error is the best way to learn

- well-placed NOPs, MOVs, and string replacements will get you 99% of the patches


Just wanted to let you know that thanks to your resources, hints and the existing patches, I could write the patch.

The one thing I couldn‘t quite understand is why
Code:
4F F0 01 00
is a boolean true – maybe you can help me understand that. I guess this is a reference to some place where true is returned, but I might be way off.

Thanks so much for your effort in writing the patches and publishing it out in the open at GitHub.
