Chapter 14 Now Available on My Website

[Loki Laufeyjarson]

Doug takes a copy of the source of an anonymous delayed-mail server, to take home with him, but later on he makes clear that the differences between two nano-CAD programming languages means that even with a converter, there is a lot of hand-tuneing to do. These two might not be considered completely consistent.

The nano-cad stuff would be highly specialized propertiery stuff, that if I judge Genom right was probably written to be incompatible on purpose. The stuff Doug wants to take home was written by " libertarian/anarchist programmers" who persumably would use a common standard programming language with lots of open standards for running on lots of different systems. The technological evolution between his home-world an BGC-verse appears to be remarkably similar, so that the programming language and the platform it was written for should also exist in doug's home. The only problem I can see is that BGC is sort of in the future and that it might be written for versions that don't exist yet in the Warrior's World. But the remailer could very well be the kind of thing that was written once a long time ago and was merly updated over the years without destroying compatability with legacy systems.
