@dr1ft omg that's amazing. my favorite part of the readme is: "The master branch contains changes I have made since 2007. The changes have been solely determined by my needs and personal use."

@Cybertrash @jamey someone with source access has been maintaining and using this piece of archaic software and probably went to someone in charge and said "hey what if we open sourced this" and they said "ok lmao"
