The files in this directory are various utility scripts/programs
|
|
submitted by various people for doing routine maintainence on the
|
|
server, such as keeping it alive, making maps, posting to newsgroups,
|
|
starting blitzes, etc.
|
|
|
|
While we provide these files for your convenience, they are not an
|
|
"official" part of the server. Therefore, you can e-mail us with
|
|
problems with them, but we may or may not know the answers and/or how
|
|
to fix any problems. Some of the files have the author's e-mail in
|
|
them, and others are anonymous submissions, so you may want to try
|
|
to contact the authors if all else fails (but try us first, as we might
|
|
know.)
