R devel - Jan 2012 - How to modify the start-up message

Hi all, I got a custom R package in .zip (i.e. meant only for Windows
installation). When I load that package, there are some start-up messages,
probably loading through .onLoad() function. However I want to modify those
messages. Please note that I do not have any other version of that package like
.tar.gz fomat etc.

Having only the .zip version, is there any possibility to modify those start-up
functionalities of that package?

Thanks for your help.

You should always modify packages by applying the changes to the source 
package and reinstall that.  Hence ask those who provided the binary 
package for a source version.
