I'm too lazy to actually check if it did it or not but: does it actually delete files you don't need for some servers (like the nektulos files) or does it store them in another location?

I noticed when i swapped between P99 and EZ that it said 'deleting file xxx' and it got me to wondering. Might be a bad thing if you swap alot, since those files can't be restored w/o pulling from an untouched folder.

answer to my own question:
Q: How does patching work?
A: On the first patch of a file, the original file will be saved in the Backup folder. Befor every patch, all the original files will be loaded into the EverQuest folder and then all the previously updated files will be loaded and files required to be deleted get deleted.


btw: very nice work
