man, you don't have any sense of humor...realize THAT.

> Why don't you ask them and see?
why? if someone have done that already, it won't change anything and is only
lost time.

> And what do we do for BSD/Solaris users?
you are right with that point, but...would it be possible? Than it would work
on most linux distribution and that would be a big step forward. It's better
than nothing.

> May break other applications.
hmm...wouldn't it be possible to determine if Punkbuster have called the
function?

> Not sure what you mean here. Regardless, bugzilla is for discussing bugs only,
not user support. Use the forums/AppDB for that.

never mind, would be illegal, if I have it correctly in mind.

> Yes, as stated in the bug previously, Stuart Dunsmore from Evenbalance has been
contacted and stated that they will not alter their codebase to support wine or
cedega or any other compatibility layer. It will never be officially supported
by Evenbalance

okay, thanks for answering.

> It's most likely illegal under the DMCA and futile. The traffic is encrypted,
and PunkBuster can change any time without warning.
hmm...okay, that is right.

> No luck. PB uses...

okay, thanks for description...

so, I think this bug can be closed as "wontfix"...because there is absoluteley
no possibility to fix this. Or have I overseen something?
