this is my seventh weekly status report.

now that i've put most of the major setup hurdles behind me, i'm finally getting the time to dive into the code. there is a lot of stuff for me to learn. instead of trying to understand all of the codebase at once, i just work on exploring in the area around whatever change i'm making.

this does make modifying the code a slower process here in the beginning, but i get to feel much more comfortable with it and i even find a few surprises! (any two developers are going to have different ways of solving the same problem, and some of darkone's idioms are really fun--i've never seen them before.)

i'm currently working on moving all of the username/password error checking code until after the PASS command. it isn't as simple as moving code around, as there are scope inconsistencies that need to be fixed one by one as i discover them. (by crashing the program...) all of the slowness here is really just me exploring the code. there is some really fun stuff in this program.

please direct all comments to the comment thread.
