Ah grand.
My lucid moment of sanity must have made sense.

Y'know even if a program doesn't function initially (the way the developer would like)...I know it hasn't stopped me from hunting and investigating why and trying to find the answer to get it to work.
And it never stopped me from attempting at a later date to try again.
It's just that unless one has time, the desire to hunt through the posts on the forums, an insatiable curiosity and an overwhelming desire to try something off the beaten track that may or may not work. ..(which is cool and exciting method to find stuff btw...)
Then having it accessible in the app man is the way to go.
The more people using it...the more likelihood and the quicker people find those odd little hiccups or bugs that can identified and rectified...the sooner it is optimally working.

hum...yea .. I can't say that in my time I've run into the freepats package for diablo to be able to deny your suspicions. Better safe than sorry if it's needed.
