The AIOE server was moved a couple weeks ago, and
the administrator is rebuilding the design and
rule base. I suppose this only matters, if you're
desperate for one more free server...

It does not mean that Cyrus was a man of piety, or a worshipper of the true God. [...] The title does not designate holiness of character, but appointment to an office." the term has an interesting history! anyway, back to business. f.
