This is all true. I have one, and it's inactive. I don't even know if it
works anymore, since I had it on UVic servers, and I've since graduated.
But it's been into the years category since anyone has posted.

If people are interested in it again, I'd be willing to get it going.
Email me if you're interested. If I get 5 replies, I'll start 'er up. :)

And it's the Ugric-Siouan connection! ;)
