Hey All,
Sorry but an interested lurker would love some quick clarification ;^).
When you say below that the host stores "patches", I hope that would not
mean that you would need multiple copies of the patches (in various
directories respective to the different apps/hosts) if the user wanted to
use the same plug-ins and patches across multiple applications/hosts. This
scenario is becoming more common.
Cheers,
--Kord
