RE: [Perfparse-users] Added perfdata to check_nt

[Cook, G. <GW...@ma...>]

Exactly what Philipp said. Although you might want to backup your
original check_nt.c file as well.
This way, if your interested in the changes made to add the perfdata,
you can compare the old and new source files.
Also, should you not backup the check_nt binary, you can always
recompile the original if necessary.
