Quick updates.

Who cares if it's the new CSB? It was made to replace bnetauth.dll (which was essencially a CSB of hashing) which was horrible.

And also NLS.dll which, of course, was only used by assholes who don't care about the amount of time that was wasted by me and others, who just want their life to be easier.

Well, why doing something that was already done? i mean i dont use NLS.dll, but, if someone made it already, whats the pruporse of making it again?

NLS.dll has a long story behind it.  Basically, it's stolen and unsupported.  BNCSUtil, on the other hand, is maintained and totally supported

And also, it's tons cleaner (NLS.dll was just a test prototype) and faster (it doesn't use Storm.dll for the SBig functions, which are sloow)
