Yes - I don't delete endpoint, I delete OPALManager, it deletes all
threads/classes etc. connected to it.

Yes - when I want to delete endpoint I use this function which you mentioned
here.

In Poland ADSL connections with dynamic IP addresses are very popular. In my
softphone I listen to interface which is gateway to Inet - because listening
to all produced unexpactable and weird behaviour of OPAL.
So in ADSL I want to know when IP changes - and when this happens start
listening to new IP address. I thought that I can't call
SIPEndPoint::StartListeners() another time. So I detach endpoint from
manager, and start brand new one which listens on new IP address. I don't
know is this correct, but wrote this in this way.... any suggestions?

At this moment - yes, because it is a big problem, when an application
crashes during exit. And because things mentioned earlier (changeable IP)
are not critical, and I can disable them.

Also I want to ask about generationg patch files in Windows. WinMerge can
generate them, but I'm not sure if they will be in a correct format. Because
of this I've posted sources, but I realize that this is incorrect... Could
you give me an advice how to generate them correctly?
