Fun to see this posted. I "worked" on this back when it was still called Freecraft. They got a C&D from Blizzard and renamed, regrouped. The two main guys, Nehal and jim4 I credit as my inspiration to get into programming. They guided me through my first program - a command-line version of Tic-Tac-Toe. Truly wonderful people.
