- Well, if I am not mistaken, don't CD games basically dump portions at a time
- onto your harddrive and play from there? And get rid of it afterwards?
- What I mean is that the UU 'patch' is a new UW.EXE. If it does dump it
- every time, you could apply the 'patch' every time by copying over the old
- UW.EXE.
