I'm finally releasing xbill 2.0, the successor to the moderately popular
1.1, which has been around for 2 years or so. The major changes include
bug fixes, networks connecting the computers, improved appearance, as well
as a complete rewrite in C++. Part of the README follows.
Enjoy,

Ever get the feeling that nothing is going right? You're
a sysadmin, and someone's trying to destroy your comput-
ers. The little people running around the screen are try-
ing to infect your computers with Wingdows [TM], a virus
cleverly designed to resemble a popular operating system.
Your objective is to click the mouse on them, ending their
potential threat. If one of the people reaches a comput-
er, it will attempt to replace your operating system with
the virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the
screen with your vital software. The game ends when only
0 or 1 of your computers is being productive. Additional-
ly, some computers are connected with network cables.
When one computer on a network becomes infected, a spwithheld
will be sent down the cable, and will infect the computer
on the other end when it reaches there.
Clicking the button on one of the little people will cause
it to cry out in pain and melt (id software eat your heart
out!), dropping the stolen os if it is carrying one. If a
computer is running Wingdows or is temporarily off, the os
can be dragged back to the computer (or another computer
compatible with that os). To extinguish a spwithheld drag the
bucket of water from the upper left corner onto it.
