 Anyone know what the name of this program is?

The program's called CheckInstall. Due to some
really embarassing mistakes I made tweaking with
my browser and email client, I lost the URL
(which I've stored in my browser's bookmarks) and
the message that contained the advice of
trying it out (and hence the name and address of
the sender, but whoever  you are, thanks again,
kind soul).

Perhaps a Google search will help :) -- Abe
