== ( final notes ) =======================================================/\==

  this is a search and destroy patch for the napster client for windows.

  the napster beta 6 client for windows contains code that prohibits the
  use of napigator when trying to connect to non-napster servers. if you
  like using the opennap network as much as i do, you'll understand what
  kind of problem that this can be. use this patch to disable napster's
  new 'anti-napigator' code and continue using napster the way the almighty
  intended it. this patch also works with the new beta 7 client, which
  has the same new 'features'.

  if you find this patch useful, please pass it on to other napster users.

  personal greets go out to Octavian, !_go0zeGg_! and Lu for your
  inspirational whim of serendipity. call the blinker board.
