I am the upstream author of this software. pchar was originally developed in a time before store-and-forward switches were common on LANs. Its algorithms assumed that there is only one packet queue per IP hop. Almost every modern network violates this assumption; thus pchar will return incorrect results in the vast majority of environments where it could be used today. In addition, I have not supported this software for over ten years. For these reasons I am scheduling this port for removal.
