Yes, you are right. I meant without the use of third-party softwares,
although most of them don't offer this option. Moreover, people freezing
NewtWorks are not usual searchers of the Works papers.

In fact, not only it is the case (NewtWorks Fix:P&M Consulting comes after
newtWorks) but I also do a delay. The patch is installed one or two seconds
after having been ran.
I admit that the best would have been to encapsulate both packages
together. I wonder what are the legal problems for that, but I haven't done
it for public release since I am absolutely not sure of the right to do so.
