The PKs would probably be alright in the gate as long as they don't go
around with the PK cit enabled..that's kinda impersonal and not a way to

What in the universe prompted this? Why is ActiveWorlds, Inc. posting

I agree. The least AWI could do is post a full and complete explanation

a 404 link, ya know? I know the mapper was useful and I've used it
myself before, and it's a big disappointment to see it just vanish like
