- All very nice, that's how a couple of programs (MagigMenu e.g.) do it, but the
- question is not "How to check if I can remove my patch?" but rather "Is there
- a way to safely remove any previous patch?". BTW, this method of checking your
- patched function is not very wise to use if the user can't disable the check.
- It will always fail with programs like SaferPatches, even if it would hve been
- safe to remove the patch.
