TWEAK PACK for 1.05 - 5th September 2003
Please note, that this is just a tweak/beta package, and this is not an official patch. Just install if you know what you are doing. This only works on top of a correctly installed, clean 1.05 without any modifications, or one where you have applied the previous 1.05b. Eventually, this will make it into a 1.06 when everything works fine.
