If you like Perl like I do, Perl 5.10 is included as well (the only part written by me is a patch to the suck program and some shell and Perl scripts that do the broadcasting, receiving, mapping the network and executing the news spool sync-up via NNTP).

===In a Nutshell===
TEOTWAWKI Net is a distributed BBS system based on Usenet technology that propagates discussion groups across a constantly changing network of mobile computers running ad-hoc wireless networking.
Instead of a client-server model. every computer running the software can read and post articles to localhost. and the glue
code handles discovery of other hosts on the network and propagating discussion articles automatically when new hosts come into range. Even with no other computers on the network all accumulated discussion is still on the hard drive or flash locally so constant access to a working network is not necessary until you want to exchange articles. I'm essentially taking the old BBS concept and taking it into the 21st century with mobile devices and wireless rather than switched telephone networks.
