/*\ osDate 1.1.7 advisory /*\ Date of written Advisory: ------------------------- July, 18 2006 Product: -------- OSdate <= 1.1.7 Vendor: ------- http://tufat.com/ Description: ------------ osDate is a full fledged dating script which can be eaily integrated with phpBB and flashChat, and provides various payment methods.
