Thank you for writing, John. I'm sorry you got flamed. I looked at what
you were doing and it all seemed legit to me.

That's great to hear! What you've done might serve as the basis for an
official app. You've already solved the problem of how to get an .apk
built. I still haven't tried the app yet, because I don't have an
Android phone or any kind of development environment for one.

I'm interested to know if anyone else on the list has run the app, and
if so, what their impressions are. I'd also welcome comments on the
source code. src/com/wjholden/nmap/Nmap.java seems to be the primary
file. The included nmap binary is the one that Vlatko built.
