Sounds good.  I haven't tried it on any other box or over the network yet.

Sort of.  It depends on how fancy you need the end result to be.  Certainly is 
just as easy as any other script language if all one is dealing with is 
straight text with no formatting.

We can try that.  I am 'game'.

Wow.  I imagine a text based game would be more suitable for blind people then 
a more intense graphical game though.  Great that it can work for him.

I'll try that later.  Right now it is sitting in my /home directory but I'll 
move it over to the server and see how many 'users' I can get going at the same 
time.

Right now I have a new toolchain in the works that I want to take out for a 
spin around the block but will probably get around to all this later.  Same 
with the text browser login to your web LORD.

Life is good,
Maurice
