README for PortScanner 1.2
--------------------------
This port scanning program was created because there were no really good
portscanner I written in C that had the level of verbosity I expected from
a good scanner. Furthermore, I know of no other C scanner so simple and
small, with this many features. The program is intended to test security
by provinding a list of the listening TCP ports, including those with
probable security hazards attached to them. 

If you want to contribute more code to the program, do so, but YOU MUST
inform the author and give him a copy of the new code, and make the
sources public mentionning the original auhtor(s).
