Rewriting nsclient? (was NSClient 1.0.8.0 Installation Problem)

[Martin, Stanley G]

Something else has changed with this new version. Don't know if anyone
else experienced this, but after I uninstalled 1.07.1 and ran pNsclient
/install, it didn't popup and tell me that the service had been
installed. Consequently, when I went into services, it wasn't there
until I ran 'net start nsclient' from command line.  Seems a little
quirky to me.  Also, what did 1.08.0 have that 1.07.1 didn't?  I didn't
see a changelog with new enhancements.

hi all

Perhaps it's about time to rewrite nsclient to a language not quite as
stone 
age as pascal / delphi? Personally, I'd like this to be perl, as this
would 
be platform independant and not compiled. At least move it away from
fscking 
Pascal.
