RE: Ilfak's WMF patch

Hi Gadi,

I ran the "patch" yesterday and so far I've seen no sideeffects. Ilfak's
installer simply patches the Escape() function in GDI32.DLL, revoking WMF's
SetAbortProc handler. I see no reason not to install this.

Cheers
Peter

So, anyone looked into it?

Problems on any Windows version? Anything stops to work?

What exactly does it do?

I tend to trust it more than MS's patch when it finally shows up.. but
still... I'd like some clarifications if possible.

Thanks and happy new year,

        Gadi.
