    	Just wondering whats the current status of the client for
    	the Windoze version. Im aware of the single Win32 port
    	(v 0.92.6). Is there still someone out there working on 
    	a java port?

Well, I have no idea about the windoze version. But who cares? the java
version is coming along nicely :-)

Unfortunately, I am suffering from both overwork, and eyestrain, so
development has temporarily halted. However, with the java client right
now, I can wander through maps, pick up or drop stuff, fight, and
most other things.

The main things that I notice remaining to be done are:

- containers
- custom keybindings
- movement via mouse  (only keypad supported right this second)

 (oh. and optimizing the map updates so squares don't flicker. But its
   still playable on my 100mhz sparc)


That's on the client side. On the other hand... it would really be nice
if there were some PUBLIC SERVERS out there that supported the client
protocol!  I don't know of ANY right now. It's not going to be at
all impressive when I release the "all-platform" client, if there's
nothing for them to connect to!
