Sad, sad, sad... tsk! tsk!
Too bad there isn't a foolproof filter for such nonsense.
Got to admit though, and nice to see someone agrees, that a pvengine.exe
(or any other partial fix) would be great none-the-less through such
"difficult" channels.
Most any program allows for this kind of patching.
Maybe the "stupidity" factor goes with the territory when distributing a
program to the worlds public. Ashame that could get in the way. But for
the sake of the already tasked POV-Team I'm not going to demand such ;}
