Just an FYI to people that the dll doesn't really need to be hexedited to make the weather change. This reg entry will make a static host mapping:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Hosts\htc.accuweathe r.com]
"ipaddr"=hex:40,3e,9e,6c

Basically, that entry is all "Pocket Hosts" does when you use that method. Considering this entry can be automatically added by the cab, and easily edited later (say if the server they are currently reidrectlng to goes down or changes hosts) it seems like that would be a much better method. With a hexedited dll future edits become a lot harder.

emunutz you could also add that reg entry to the customizer app as well--and as server changes are needed could apply the corrected entry via updated versions of the customizer. Just a thought.

I posted this in the software forum as well but thought I should spread the word.
