+This is a portable (statically compiled) Win32 version of Ncat.  You
+should be able to take the ncat.exe and run it on other systems
+without having to also copy over a bunch of DLLs, etc.
+
+More information on Ncat: http://nmap.org/ncat/
+
+You can get the version number of this ncat by runnign "ncat
+--version".  We don't create a new Ncat portable for each Ncat
+release, so you will have to compile your own if you want a newer
+version.  Instructions for doing so are available at:
+https://secwiki.org/w/Nmap/Ncat_Portable
+
+Ncat is distributed under the same free and open source license as
+Nmap.  See http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html.
