Since nothing else is going on here, I thought I would give a status report on my rewrite. I am 2/3 of the way through the files in the common directory. The only big ones left are net.*. I haven't tackled shipshape.c yet either, but I finished it last time I started this (Oct 2000) so I will just need to port any changes. I am not tackling server until the client is done, but I am making some progress in the client folder. I have a working About window with all of the different pages (organized a bit differently) and the MetaServer stuff is working for the list and I am almost done with pinging. On a more technical note, I am using 1.4.2 with the Generics EA compiler from Sun so that I can use this to learn generics, enum's, varargs, etc. for Java. I am using Netbeans for my IDE as I am more familiar with it and it helps me slap together the first drafts of the windows (which I later tweak by hand). When I refactor things, I switch to Eclipse. Right now it needs a lot of refactoring, but I am concentrating on getting the client working first, and then I will go back and work on cleaning up the code. If you have any questions or comments or complaints or want a snapshot of the code, let me know. Mark
