Re: nmap+V

You are obviously way more familiar with your code than I am, but looking
over amap.c I didn't see anything that reminded me of nmap's pos_scan()
function.... It is capable of reading one of the nmap output formats, but
that definitely doesn't make it "derived" anymore than the fact that it is
capable of acting as a port scanner does (which is the obvious similarity).
Why did you choose to go out of your way to add that parenthetical?...
*Finds the history of software projects and, well, things in general,
fascinating and doesn't now that much about amap's origins.*

Sincerely,
