This BETA version incorporates two new changes:
	1: It will show a !A for administratively-prohibited packets (see below)
	2: It will allow modification of a line terminator from standard <LF>
	   to anything else, allowing, for instance, dynamic access from
	   web browsers (see www.opus1.com/www/traceroute.html)

Feel free to test.
