Considered, yes, but Uplink is not open source, and it's not my right to do it either. I know the source is generally "out there" but the legality of that is murky.

Like I said, no release in a while.

I'm the original author. There's one other that works on code, and Vert (this blog) has been a tremendous help with asset updates.

Turns out however that rewriting the graphical engine takes a while.

There hasn't been a release in a while, but onlink is still in active development.

Visual C++ 6.0 for the compiler. I remember doing the "upgrade" to .NET 2003.

SDL was used for mac and linux versions, windows used glut.

One flag also not mentioned is -n, which allows you to run the same application in more than one instance. Historically the single most used utility for me, though the number of applications that have had design problems bad enough to warrant it has gone down.
