Sure.  I could get out a hex-editor and start doing some bit-surgery.  I 
know that.  What I'm bitching about is the fact that it's NECESSARY to do 
that.  And the more I bitch about it, the more people tell me how easy it 
would be to do.  Not that anyone around here is claiming they've ever 
actually *done* anything like that, or course....  But they sure do all 
agree how easy it would be!
