I'm looking as using dcons to handle consoles for my cluster.
Remembering 60+ EUI-64s just isn't an option.  Typing them would be bad
enough. :-)

I think so.  The files with wpaul copyrights were all derived from
files he wrote by copying them and editing them.  I basicly changed
the code to handle 8-byte strings instead of 6-byte ones (plus some
extra flexability in the parsing) and changed the API to eliminate the
old style non-thread safe functions.  The main code and concept is
his.  There's definatly enough of his code there for it to have his
copyright.  I don't think there's enough new code to warrent adding mine
(Aerospace's), but I will if someone how understands derivative works
better says I should.
