We are getting ready to play SE over LAN, and so I downloaded SJ's LAN helper.
I think it's a very cool little app. But after experimenting with it for a while it looked like it still did not provide fully automated game play and all the convenience one would expect form this type of multiplayer game.
So I went off and put together my own helper (with such tools as VB it does not take long

). You can find it on
http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/andrei...?.dir=/Friends
There is a setup that installs all the necessary DLLs and fonts (but it is quite huge because of that

) No help file is provided but I guess it's very easy to figure out how to work this thing (just fill in all the fields and start it up!)
I've also included the sources -- in case someone would like to improve it
Comments, suggestions and bug reports are always welcome
