It probably isn't fair to quote the Yorktown story as I think the
program was problably in beta or 1.0 at the time. I bring it up
because of the frustrated experiences I have had with servers
locking up and me having no clue why.
I'm glad to hear that about the source code. I feel more secure
with the idea that Microsoft probably doesn't have a back door into
our weapons systems. I'd hate to hear of Bill Gates ordering
attacks on AOL. (especially since I run AOLserver).
According to

the smart ship program has continued and is scheduled for Phase II
this fall.
