Release Notes
 
Disclaimer
This project began as something for me to use to monitor my own CS servers. It works for me and "should" work well for you. I have used it to monitor as many as four CS servers and two DoD servers simultaneously under WinNT Server 4.0 (SP6). Others have used it to monitor 30+ CS servers at once. Patches will be posted when necessary.
