+<PRE>Hi, and happy new millenium to everyone!
+First I'd like to say that I'm gratly impressed by your work!
+So please do not take my comments as hard critcisms...
+
+You seem to be building everything from scratch while a quick search
+at sourceforge.net for MMORPG seems to suggest that there are plenty
+of already available material. You say that you had to work at your own
+(impressive) speed and did not want to hijack an existing project...
+But you seem to give up quite easly to good part of the GPL, you could have
+forked an existing project: the maintainer would hold no grudge against you
+as you would not take any of his/her volonteers but instead bring your team
+to some work he/she could also benefit.
+Even for low-level, everyday use classes, you seem to always invent your
+own (callbacks, smart pointers and sockets come to mind).
+I understand that your code is (honestly !) of far better quality than the
+average available crap (I also find myself to rewrite much of the code that
+I'm supposed to used) but there are exceptions (libsigc++ or any stuff from
+www.boost.org for exemple). I just hope that nevrax does not lose time because
+of a Not Invented Here syndrom...
+&gt;<i>From the docs online I had even the impression that you wanted to use you own
+</I>custom scripting language (for ai I think). What is wrong with Python ?
+I even thought that the stackless (especially microthreads) would be nice
+for massively numerous agents :-)
+
+
+By the way, I'm impressed by that amount of work already done, how many of
+the mythical month-man have you put in current cvs ?
+
+It is not often that I can build source code so easly on my alpha!
+You bug-fixes were really fast... (I mean FAST!)
+
+For your information, on a Debian woody, one should 'apt-get install'
+the following packages (might go in a README or INSTALL):
+automake
+libtool
+libstlport-dev
+truetype2-dev
+bison
+flex
+libfreetype6-dev
+xlibmesa-dev
+
+beta-builder, soon beta testerly yours,
+
+Bernard
+(typing startx right now to see the beast)
