Hmmm.. A program, unregistered, etc? This doesn't sound like JavaScript at all,
more like a door, which is not what I'm asking for at all. :)
I'm actually asking for a JavaScript, so that I could tie it in with my
existing system that, during sending netmail to an obvious FTN style address,
it can do a lookup and provide a summary.
