I'm only trolling on the license situation since I'm probably already infamous for my destructive relationship to licensing. The problem simply is, that the page AFAIS doesn't state a license (so I can do everything with the tool I want? -- strange) and that we can't assume you get the tool under *GPL since you can't give it to others under that circumstances w/o source. I also fear (since the tool you gat is an exe file) that it won't be easily portable to Unix (but this is another problem). Regards -- Markus
