LuserNET uses gnustep-base, gnustep-gui and Pantomime. Note
that there are bugs in many versions of these that cause problems and crashes, so you'll need to use very recent
versions (probably newest cvs version).
Current version 0.4.2 (2004-03-03 01:03): LuserNET-0.4.2.tar.gz (71kb)
List of changes.
(Currently down.) You can also get the bleeding edge version with cvs (thanks to Fabien and tuxfamily.org):
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.tuxfamily.org:/cvsroot/LuserNET login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.tuxfamily.org:/cvsroot/LuserNET co LuserNET
and there's also cvsweb.
