BTW, I love your cut and paste response earlier - couldn't have said it better myself.

Although I will reiterate one line:

"- the 1.03 files by themselves would still be over 40mb in size."

What MDE has not taken into account in his calculations are the many files that were modded in both 1.02 and 1.03. Patch 1.03 by itself is NOT simply the difference in size between 1.03 and 1.02 (ie 4mb). Patch 1.03 by itself is over 40mb compressed.

Dialup users were considered. Indeed, MANY things were considered, but at the end of the day, the advantages of a single cumulative patch FAR OUTWEIGH asking a dialup user to d/l an 80mb file, especially when it is only 40mb more than what they would need to d/l anyway if patch 1.03 was incremental.

Indeed, the support aspect for multiple patches alone (ie "What patch do I need?" and so on) is enough to scrap the idea.

As BBW perfectly said:

The idea of the installer is that its universal
One patch fits all
Hard enough fixing some of the so called problems without having multiple releases of the same patch
