Hi, I'm Gonzo. I feel like I need to fix the beta so everyone can use it without BearStart. So if anyone can provide me with links with links to previous and following versions following 5.1.0b25 so I can compare hex and patch it. And for anyone interested, and you are a forum regular, I can get you an unpacker for BearShare so you can do your own thing. If anyone wants to help for the cause, please pm or post here. Thanks for your help! (Also, crackers, help form you is also needed since armadillo is a nice little creature that protects .ExE's....)
