I did it only because I couldn't mail to Rahul. I have since been given another address/route to try. (Thank you Keith.) As far as I know, the program is not infected with a virus. I would not have posted it if I knew it to be hazardous to your computer. In addition, I am positive that it is shareware. Also, I know it was of interest to at least 3 people, because they requested it. I did not have any ill intentions - just problems with the out of date and unmaintained routing tables here. Please forgive me, and have pity on all of us who have to suffer through ~50%+ bounced mail. It's really not any fun.
