author's contact email address.

I'm pleased to announce the release of pchar-1.2, a reimplementation
of Van Jacobson's pathchar utility for characterizing the individual
hops of a path between two network hosts.  pchar works on both IPv4
and IPv6 networks.

pchar has been tested on various versions of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Linux, Solaris, OSF/1, and IRIX, with the primary development on
FreeBSD and Solaris.  pchar is written is C++, primarily using recent
versions of gcc, but with some testing also on the SparcWorks C++
compiler.

Recent additions to pchar include: An SNMP query feature, better IPv6
detection at configure-time, and a number of bugfixes.  The CHANGES
file included in the pchar distribution provides more details.

More information, as well as downloadable source code, can be found at:
