How do you want to make sure this one works? You would have to overwrite everything or create their equivalent (freenet.jar, wrapper files, executables, libs, config files etc). You would probably need MUCH work to get this even only sometimes working, but it would probably much more often just screw the users installation. So dont waste dev time on this, probably wasted time which could better be invested in other projects. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
