Re: (Fwd) [HARVEST:553] replacing doubleclick, etc. ads

Has anyone written a redirector in C that they can distribute? I have
heard of people writing redirectors in C but I have yet to see any code
for any of them. If someone could pass on what they've written to this
effect I'd appreciate it. My current perl script, well, um, leaves a bit
to be desired :-)
