I don't think I have any backups of it, and IIRC I posted it to the CDN
news groups back then... (Any way to get at the data of this thing?
There's so much valuable data nowhere else to be found.) ...but What I
did was reprogramming the warp portals a bit (cloned it, then made some
modifications like changing the pray classification) and a script that
got called by it, used rsync (I think it was rsync -- scp should do the
job as well.) to automatically copy it to the other comp and inject it
again, or rather telling the portal at the receiver side to do it. Not
very complicated actually. The only real problem is that it messes the
stats up, unless both comps have been properly registered with the main
server. And IIRC it didn't create a 'warped out/in' event, but that
should be (hopefully) easy enough to put in. If you *really* want it, I
could try to put something together, but you'd have to debug it yourself
and I'd rather like not to in the first place. I'm a bit short on time
lately. If I was you I'd search the list archive for DSLinux and
Aftermath, though. I *might* have posted it this way and not to the CDN
nntp after all.
