Whoever it is that is wanting to update the HOWTO for the Diablo 2 appdb please email me. I don't have my email address on there for nothing. For whatever reason, I can't see who changes things nor does the appdb email me on changes anymore.
Quote from new HOWTO note. "THIS IS A DUPLICATE ENTRY. I am making this simply because lots of the information in the original howto is either wrong, invalid or unnecessary. This is the new HOWTO. I'm leaving the old one in place so that the ones that wrote it can see the changes and voice anything before I remove the old one entirely. "
I read it and you really did not change anything. But I will say that that YES the HOWTO is mostly unnessecary. However, when I tried going to a skeletal HOWTO, I got a bunch of odd complaints (especially on the CD-ROM info you removed). Also note, that the HOWTO duplicates the War3 one just because it's the same in almost every way.
