It is not bad idea to add a few more words to readme.txt from nullpktd.exe:
just quick start "nullpkt 0x60" and "nullpkt -u" to uninstall
so user should not look for another docs about interrupt vector.


BTW, uuencoded files being appeared in HTML looks rather strange:
http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0198/msg00057.html

Check the above URL and try to "d"ownload it with with Lynx:
you get lots of amp; lt; gt; which replace a single chars
and made uudecode completely broken (I cannot quote the example
because it will be proccessed by the same manner).
Instead, if you "p"rint to e-mail or local file everything OK.
