Hi everyone-

I got lots of responses to my last post (cool -- people are actually
interested in nmap for windows), but, surprisingly, most were people
either asking where to get nmap for windows or why the referenced
code is not in nmapNT sp1 from eeye.  So here goes:

Nmap 2.54, since, IIRC, beta9 or so, has supported Windows in some
form or other.  Since beta30, it supports NT4.0 and up and Win95 and
up.  Since it is not yet final, there is no binary available from
www.insecure.org, and I don't have the bandwidth or space right now
to host it myself.  Therefore, you need to compile it yourself.  You
need VC6 or VC.NET beta2 or higher.  Get the source tarball from
www.insecure.org, and you'll find the VC project file in the mswin32
directory.  The fix I posted applies to that version (it will
probably not work fully on versions before b30).

If you want to compile with a freeware compiler, I have started
working on a MinGW-compatible version.  The beta30 version seems to
compile OK, but does not link (at least not for me).  It will also
not support Win95 at all or Win2K without winpcap installed, due to
lack of delay-load support.  lcc-win32 may be easier, but I have no
experience with it.  If you can get either of these to work, please
tell me :)

As for nmapNT, I can't support that (I didn't write it).  Sorry :)
