~~~~~~~ Open Visual Trace Route ~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 1.5.1
I could successfully make this version run on Windows 8 64bits, Vista 32bits and
Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits.
But my tests do not cover everything, so if you find some bug feel free to post
a bug report and/or fix
- on Sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvisualtrace/
- or by email at leo.lewis.software@gmail.com
Please specify your OS, a stack trace, and the steps to reproduce the issue on t
he bug report.
I cannot guaranty to fix issues, (this software is free and open source) but I c
an promise to take a look when I have a moment.
Enjoy and share,
Leo
