This is a continuation - if you haven't seen the first article, I suggest you take a look at Projects of the past before reading this.

Again, this list is in no particular order.

Current status: Cancelled
Operating system(s): Windows (client), Windows + Linux (server)

Spymaster (2003)

Current status: Cancelled
Operating system(s): Windows
Release: None
Date of last activity: November 2003

No screenshots are available at this time.

This is the predecessor to Neutron NMS. It was written as an A-level computing project - yes, that's where the Neutron idea originally came from!

It did support some of Neutrons features - a basic rundown of what it supported includes automatic server discovery, list of online clients, remote screen view, remote task kill and remote message display. It did very little compared to Neutron, it was very buggy also and the server only ran under Windows.

It had to be written in VB6 due to the fact that the school computers only had VB6 available, and I needed to be able to work on the codebase on the schools computers.

I really want to put up some screenshots, I'll do it later once I can compile the sources again.

zserv IRC services (2004-2006)

Current status: Paused
Operating system(s): Windows, Linux
Release: None
Date of last activity: January 2006

No screenshots are available at this time.

zserv is a P10 IRC services package. It is modular, and modules may be loaded/unloaded at runtime (dynamic modules) or be statically compiled in (however static modules can still be deactivated at run time if needed).

zserv aims at being a fully compliant P10 service with many features. It is tested with ircu, asuka and bircd, and expected to retain full compatibility with those 3 IRC servers at all stages of it's life. Some extra features of bircd such as halfop are supported by zserv.

The IRC network I originally began to develop this for is shrinking heavily, and has become kind of inactive, so I doubt they'd actually really need this anymore - and the other IRC network (urbanturban) that showed interest, decided they did not want zserv because I am programming it in Object Pascal not C. So motivation for this project is currently very low.

zbot (2005)

Current status: Paused, not sure about future
Operating system(s): Windows, Linux
Release: None
Date of last activity: Sometime 2005

No screenshots are available at this time.

zbot was to be a multi-headed IRC bot service program. Multi-headed means that a single zbot process can spawn many service bot clients. It was going to be modular, the same way that zserv is.

The concept arised from the need for #animebots on quakenet to upgrade to a newer bot program, since the current one is dated and has many problems. Right now, I am not sure if it's still needed by them - so development is completely stalled.

The small codebase that did exist was lost in an accident, but could be recreated quite quickly from the zserv codebase.

Kanamaster (2005)

Current status: Paused
Operating system(s): Windows
Release: None
Date of last activity: November 2005
