Nah, that would be my very own ugly script doing very much the same thing. Hey, what's worse than an inelegant solution? The same solution that also reinvents the wheel, of course!
(Actually, my script also has a couple features for a "permanent" PBEM server... but I didn't expand on those)
hehe we both invented solution to the same problem.
My model is packed with features, it automatically d/l turns, verifies them, creates a backup and sends the new turn to players oh and ABS, 4x drive and AC as well
Seriously though, I intend to add a GUI and release it as a fully blown PBEM manager.
