I've been working on and off on a Tcl/Tk version. I'm still only doing
dialog windows and stuff. I've tinkered with different widget sets also
to see which ones look/are programmed better. I haven't touched any
network stuff, yet. Lack of time.

It doesn't use MFC and is strictly scripted so far. I was trying to
see if there was a way to do all the network stuff in Tcl also but I
don't think that's feasible.

The client looks ok, I guess, so far. After changing widget sets a few
things broke which makes it look bad but I'm tinkering with it once in
a while to get it back on track. THere is still a lot of work to do so
if you're interested, let me know.

There's also a Java port in the works whichwill also allow cross
platform play. But it's lagging a bit also, last I heard, because of
the networking stuff.
