A reference from archive.org (wayback machine) for example. If you have proof I will change the name of portmanager to avoid infringing on your copyright and if you don't I insist you stop infinging on mine. See https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D107280 for the= =20 first official portmanager posting dated 2004-04-20. =2DMike
