What if I download his CD, and can honestly say I wouldn't buy it, even if it wasn't on p2p? Well, in that case, he lost nothing and gained a listener.
Ironic that you use the word "honestly" in this context.

cow is a good client -- I contributed some small amount of code, years ago -- but it's a port of the unix version and "netrek xp" is better on windows.
Steve's server seems to be a bit flakey at the moment (imminent/.?) so I've mirrored it on mine for now.
Installation is as simple as unzipping. Once you connect to a server, "h" brings up a list of commands. There are a LOT, but to get started you need the speed (warp) commands (numbers 1-0 are enough to start with), set-course (right mouse button) and fire (left & middle buttons).
angband is much more one-dimensional than nethack. all you do is hack and slash. people comparing diablo to nethack are wrong; it really has much more in common with angband.
nethack is much more of an immersible universe where you can fill pits with boulders, mix potions, etc.
don't get me wrong; angband is fun and I played it (and its precursor, moria) for years, but it's just not as interesting a game to my mind.

had to google for it, but I found it. (ah, for the days when.net denoted ISPs...) you're going to think I'm being rude again, but you really should hire someone with some aesthetic taste. i did check "developers" for some trace of this New And Improved Ybos ACS, but didn't see anything. just some 3.x modules.
and re being rude, you don't think FUD like "And if you think their 4.X product works with Postgres, you haven't read very carefully" counts?
openacs 3.x has been on postgres quite some time

and it's definitely not beta software. It's just the new 4.x that's still alpha. New versions don't always spring fully grown from the forehead of another corporation that did all the work... tho i guess that's the only model ybos has used.
OpenACS is nice, but it's still all alpha code. And if you think their 4.X product works with Postgres, you haven't read very carefully. They've been releasing OpenACS 4.X sites on Oracle this year.
Wait, it's alpha code unfit to sneeze on -- but they've been releasing sites on it? I guess you must feel pretty marginalized with way more people involved with openacs than with ybos's pseudo-fork of the acs, but don't let that drive you into making statements that just make you look foolish.:/ Sure, the postgres code is still alpha, but that's a hell of a lot more sql than "ybos" has released to the community -- postgres OR oracle.
I'm going to be modded down for saying it, but it's true: most of the people I have worked with are NOT capable of writing elegant code. This is particularly true of Perl programmers...:-/ As long as it ends up working (for a while) they couldn't care less how much of a maintenance headache they are creating down the road.

has to match existing table, view, or datatype AFAIK
look for docs/examples using the setof keyword. quick example:
bf2=# create table foo (i int, j varchar(10));
CREATE
bf2=# insert into foo values (1, 'one');
INSERT 28154811 1
bf2=# insert into foo values (2, 'two');
INSERT 28154814 1
bf2=# insert into foo values (3, 'three');
INSERT 28154816 1
bf2=# create function test_setof(int) returns setof foo as 'select * from foo where i $1' language sql;
CREATE
bf2=#
bf2=# select i(test_setof(3)), j(test_setof(3));
i | j
---+-----
1 | one
2 | two
(2 rows)

netrek has NOTHING to do with SFC _or_ nethack.

I know that when he was in Utah on some other business, he was happy to come talk at our LUG for free, even though it was somewhat out of his way.

That's why all games are played by connecting via telnet to a server, not on your home machine.
