Remember the software is not Demon software but is copyright the original author. Making changes to the package the author has licenced for distribution is in all probability a breach of that licence. The usual way around this is to add another package containing the information and any custom files necessary to connect to a particular service. If you want to produce a special version of someone elses work, please make sure you have permission to do so. -- Malcolm S. Muir Sunderland England
