I agree - the initial version was both the first piece of Linux (and
general Unix) code and the first piece of C code I wrote after converting
from the Atari ST + Pascal + GFA-Basic world.
I was a newbie at that time, and the code shows it.
The further releases were mostly hacks to keep it working for what I was
using it for. I've changed jobs 3 times since then, and I haven't been
running any mailing lists for some time.
If there will be a further version (uncertain at this time), it will be a
complete rewrite.
