<pre>Thanks for getting back to me and authorizing it's use. I will continue
testing it on different windows flavors (until now all my tests were on
XP). I will add a readme or a xxmklink.licence file in the distribution
that will indicate the provenance/credit/authorization of this binary.
Best Regards,
