This is the new version of ascan.
ascan is a multi processes tcp port scanner.

Usage: ascan [-Vhvn] [-c childs] [-p ports] [-t timeout] <host> [from] [to]

-h     this help
-v     verbose mode (off) - prints to stderr various infos
-n     output service name (off) - shows name of opened services
-c     childs (2) - number of childs to run
-p     ports per group (128) - ports per scanning cycle to use
-t     general timeout in seconds (0) - 0 means no timeout
host   host to scan
from   from port (1)
to     to port (from port if specified, 80 otherwise)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ascan does *NOT* work if run under socks.
I did not find any FAST way to scan a host under a socks.
If you know a way tell me ;)
Anyway it does *NOT* crash if run under socks.

This version does *NOT* crash if run under Genesis.
Previous version could crash if PPC (-p options) was
greater than 64.
