v0.4.0
NetStumbler v0.4.0 (rel 21-APR-2004),
the granddaddy of all wifi home network analyzers,
still working fine since first released way back in 2002, thank you,

v0.4.0
You may also need to download MFC71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL and move them to the same directory as the program.
Granted all of the above !
More reasons for the SRVP crowd (Society for Registry Virginity Preservation),
Yours truly included, to embrace Homedale instead... ;-)
