I make no such claim. As I have already stated in this exact thread, "we don't claim copyright in Nmap output files. There is proprietary software out there that has an option for importing Nmap data files that the user generated. That is OK with me." [1] So enough with you saying this is like MS tryihng to block OO from reading Word files. In deference to Dave's turtle, I'll argue no further. I just wanted to refute your attempt to put words in my mouth. Cheers, Fyodor [1] http://lists.immunitysec.com/pipermail/dailydave/2005-October/002594.html
