They're very useful! I had a full install on my hard drive and your patch kept me from uninstalling it. I have all the CD's around here somewhere but they're buried. And I was surprised to see you had patched the 1.20b versions because these were never released with a game AFAIK and are not widely known.
The programmer (Champie?) made them after we complained so much about jerky play under XP.
These are beta patches, and have not been extensively tested, there is therefore no warranty and you use them at your own risk. However, there is no reason to suspect they will cause any trouble, although you should probably backup the existing executables in case you need to remove these patches.
To install these patches, extract the executables, and overwrite the ones you currently have installed. If you installed to the default directory, you can use the Windows extraction wizard and type in "C:\Program Files" as the directory to install.
There is no official support for the patches, though you can send any comments/suggestions to <propinball@empire-interactive.com>
