I am not staying up late worrying about it. This is precisely why netrek hasn't changed in years. New people come in wanting to contribute to the project but simply insist on writing everything from scratch in their own way for their own purpose. We seem to have lost any sense of collaboration. It would be great to have a client-side server that can train newbies and do all the things you want to explore. Maybe you will succeed, and your server will be superb. Good luck. And don't forget to upload stuff to ftp.netrek.org where your work can be archived. > I am not trying to flame anyone or trash netrek entirely, although I do so > hate the game, but I am merely explaining what my goals and reasons for > doing a rewrite are. I apologize for trying to leverage your efforts for the bigger community. Building/rebuilding on top of existing software would be better for us but is obviously not very appealing to you, particularly in light of how much you hate netrek. -- Dave Ahn | ahn at vec.wfubmc.edu | Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
