I think it was Brian Paulsen that wrote Freebot. Maybe some of the old timers remember. As far as I remember the code was not in the public domain, and he just let some individuals use it for testing or logging or something like that.

Freebot was the product of someone's doctoral dissertation, and a team of freebots isn't that hard to beat. I think you'll find, like everyone else who has tried, that writing a good bot for netrek is hard, and making a bot team that can be humans is next to impossible. _______________________________________________ vanilla-list mailing list vanilla-list at us.netrek.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/vanilla-list -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
