I doubt it.  I imagine that Symantec was shooting for a well-documented disk
recovery/repair/maintenance package, decided to buy MacZap package out for
their decent utility programs, and decided that the patching utility was not
within the scope of what they were trying to put out.  Or maybe they decided
that they didn't want to maintain patches for various programs.  Or they
felt that so few "mainstream" programs were coming out with copy protection,
that it wouldn't net them enough profit.

Maybe you should see if you can get a final copy of MacZap, get the patcher,
and then upgrade to SUM for $30?  Seems like a good deal to me.
