Aadec

[[Category::Definitions]] [[Category::HOWTO]] aadec is a utility that decodes inst.pnt files and perhaps other things. This is used to authenticate installation of plugins. Below is code that can be used to create a version of aadec that will always provide output saying a given plugin is authorized for installation into the current phatbox. This may or may not cause other problems, use at your own risk.
