    This release of HFNetChk introduces new features and corrects several
    known issues.
    
    - New features:
        -trace switch creates a debug log to assist with troubleshooting.
        -sum switch will force a checksum scan even when scanning a
    non-English language system. Use only
          if you have a custom XML file with language-specific checksums.
        NT4 Terminal Server support.
        File version information is displayed in -v(erbose) mode for Patch
    NOT
          Found and Warning messages.
        HFNetChk version information, scan date, and XML file version
    information is displayed in output.
    
    - Fixes:
        Enhanced domain resolution and scanning.
        Leading and trailing spaces in file inputs are removed and blank
    lines are ignored.
        mssecure.cab file is now downloaded to the current working directory
    and not to the user's temp directory.
        Now able to scan local Windows XP Home Edition systems.
        Corrected a bug where the incorrect SQL Server SP version was being
    displayed if certain SQL hotfixes had been applied.
    
    Additional features such as scanning for Exchange, ISA, MS01-022, or
    Office patches are being considered for a future release of HFNetChk and
    are not included in this beta.
