The source is in C++(ATT), and I have not been able to make it run so far. Also it has only been tested on Suns(3 and 4). The site is in Finnland(I assume) and ftp transfers are really slow, so to transfer the source can take 10 minutes. If someone installs it somewhere here in the US please let me know.
