NSClient 1.0.8.0 Released

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your words about this matter and 
compliment you on your approach.

This is a very clear description of a Nag approach to the FAQ of 'how do 
I monitor NT event logs ?'.

Backlog is now known as Snare.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
