GPL anti-disco patch... getting kicked out.

When I try to run the GPL non-multiplayer-disconnect patch, a dos window
opens for a fraction of a second, too fast to read, then disappears.

What gives?

That the patch is a small DOS program that modifies gpl.exe, hence the
short blink. Try to run the patch in DOS-window with gpl.exe as
parameter and see what happens.

Disclaimer : I don't know if anything happens, it's just a suggestion :)

For your part is probably worked, it just don't tell you.

If all you do is double-click on it, it won't work.
If you are dragging the GPL.EXE file on top of it then it is working fine.
Check to see if your GPL.EXE file has been backed up (GPL.EXE_BAK I think)
If it's in your GPL directory then the patch was successful.

Cheers,

Andrew,

check if the patch has created a backupfile of the GPL.exe. If do, it was
successfull
