Archive-name: spybot/19-Sep-90 Original-posting-by: benh@zip.eecs.umich.edu (Benjamin Harrison) Original-subject: SpyBot source code Archive-site: belch.berkeley.edu [128.32.152.202] Archive-directory: /pub/mud_misc Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) OK, it's like this... the SpyBot source code is ready, tarred, and compressed, and is available from 1) belch.berkeley.edu, in the directory pub/mud_misc, under the file name spybot.tar.Z and 2) soon to be available from nic.stolaf.edu, in the directory pub/mud/tinybots, under the file name spybot.tar.Z but as of this date, that ftp site is down. Anyone who doesn't know how to ftp (like me) can find out from 'virtually' (i.e., ask on a Mud) anyone (like I did). It is easy. Once again, the SpyBot robot is polite (except in dark rooms, oops) and expandable, and all submissions to me will be collated (this makes more sense than everyone trtying to collate them by themselves). Please note: future versions of SpyBot may be able to accept 'diff' files read to them by other robots, saving them and incorporating them into their own source code, and then recompiling themselves, and rebooting themselves with the new code... Now how's THAT for an adaptable robot! Several copies of the uuencoded source have been mailed to people who requested copies previously, and will be mailed to anyone who doesn' have ftp capability. I am told that non tarred, non-compressed code is available on request from site #2, above. ----Bosk@tinyUSC, benh@zip.eecs.umich.edu, Ben "SpyBot addict" Harrison----
