blah

Someone ^^^ added Ombra into the Drdos Wiki :-)

I haven't been aware of the thing before ...

http://www.widus.it/ew/rick.htm

There is a personal page where the thing is advertised and it can be downloaded form there, it works in DOS, it not bloated, has a manual, is freeware ...

but there is a subminor flaw : it's 12 yeas old :-|

So a good occasion to repeat the stupid question : anyone by chance tried to contact the author about source code ?

I wrote to Rick some years ago, but I don't remember, if I got a reply. I'll have to look to my mail archive.

Back in 2007 I wrote to Rick, but never got any response. (Also had a short discussion with Steve Adelewitz about it.) Feel free to ask Rick again!

I'm not sure. Maybe he just didn't check his old mail account or my message went to the junk folder undiscovered.

So will you ask him?
