Ok, attached find these files:

xlations2.txt is mirc script to translate using Bablefish, which is just about 
anyone's feeble first attempt to provide language services to irc. It sits 
between the irc user from anywhere, and Altavista's Bablefish, using my 
address to do the http to Bablefish. Note mine also translates between all 
the other languages, not just between other languages and english and vice 
versa. Note also Bablefish sucks, and native speakers of the other languages 
will laugh at you.

partyline1.txt is a tcp dcc relay, like a mini-ircd without services, and only 
one channel. It did what i was asked to do. I can't find the one that started as
a raw internet tcp, and proxied to irc. This one, if it even works on newer 
mircs, needs the irc ctcp handshake to work first,,,,,, if i remember right,,, 
(who cares?).

script2.txt is a IRC/MUD translator, for using mirc scripts in a MUD. It won't 
work on newer mirc, and that particular MU* has been gone for years.

email.mrc is written by someone else, it checks email, prolly won't work in 
newer mirc versions.

httpserver10.txt serves web pages, and builds a directory listing as needed. 
It's like Apache, in a way. It's THREADED.

webspider4.txt reads pages off of the internet and dumps the html to a mirc 
@window. Or the status window.

tiggrdmsg.txt is the remote tcp user control panel for Tiggr, in mirc. It's 
disabled in Tiggr now, no one was interested in it.

mwdefs.txt proxies the http server at Mirriam Webster for irc use. I don't 
remember if i ever finished it. It took so long to get a page here that people 
on irc gave up on it. I mined the entire site. I did the same for intellicast 
weather pages, but i know it doesn't work anymore, because they changed 
the webpages, while i had the code turned off because of abuse on irc. The 
remote traceroute code is similar (not included here), it's also not done 
automagically by Tiggr anymore. The traceroute used a remote trace, 
proxying it thru my ip to anyone on irc.

None of these is likely to work on versions newer than 5.51, and i offer no 
guarantees they might work, or that Sears sells the correct hat for you.

Anything else?
