Ugh. I had a really nice readme, but I nuked it. Cold Turkey is an attempt to make a kinder, gentler ColdCore. Much like the Minimalist art movement of the early 20th century, it is a reaction against a percieved needless complexity and resulting inaccessability to the common man. This version (0.0) provides a minimal login daemon which allows you to speak, emote, eval, and program. That should be enough to be functionally equivalent to ColdCore, if not as easy to use :) It also includes a mostly HTTP/1.1-compliant web server, and a module for serving files ($http_page_file, I believe). Cold Turkey 0.0 is provided mostly for developers who want to write a new core from scratch, but who have discovered (as I did) that MinimalCore really sucks. The login daemon runs on port 9000, and I believe you have to log in with "connect" and not "connect-guest" like it tells you to. There are still a few bugs with the login daemon but I have found greener pastures. If anyone fixes them I'd be more than happy to patch my distribution and give the authors due credit. $connection now uses buffers, if you want strings (like ColdCore), use $string_connection. This was done to facilitate writing 8-bit clean daemons (such as an IRC daemon). There is no $connection_interface, but you may write one if you wish. I didn't think interfaces made sense for most things (other than users). If you have any questions, feel free to mail me and I'll try to respond in a timely manner.
