       Pardon the dumb question but I started playing around with
4.21Alpha 4 and wanted to see the new scripting engine in action.  I
noticed that during a version detection scan nmap will look for the
/scripts directory for version detection scripts.  I noticed that the
Windows .zip binary release did not include any of the scripts.  Is  
this
deliberate or is this a mistake.
This is definitely not a dumb question. It seems to be an oversight.  
I am not exactly sure why but none of the 21ALPHA versions of nmap  
have the scripts with them. A quick fix would be to grab http:// 
insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.20ALPHA4.tgz extract it and copy the  
scripts/ directory to the directory where you extracted the win32 zip.
In the next release we'll make sure they're included :)
