   Copyover MUD servers used to do all sorts of cool stuff. I remember seeing one that would reboot by: 1. Open a pipe 2. fork() 3. parent exec()'s the new binary with an argument saying "reload yourself from pipe at FD #n" 4. c

    You're absolutely correct, of course. I was more saying that Zeta allows you to get ZZT without having to own a DOS machine or be good at configuring DOSBox.
