Here's what we had: guestbook is the main script. when someone adds an entry, it's written to /usr/public/guestbook.list, and emailed to the other system. crontab runs /usr/bin/mailparse.sh, which takes any emails send from the other system and adds them to the end of the guestbook. So both systems had a complete list, though the order of entries might differ a bit. The system names were vcflisa and vcfibm. The destination address was the only difference between the 2 systems.

Yup, it was some shell scripts. Let me dig them up...

Was that a shell script? Do you still have it?
I've been collecting some older Unix games that I can find in c (some were in FORTAN) and and going to be trying to get them running on my DEC or IRIX system as time permits. A MUD (a clone of the circle MUD), Adventure (another C port), Eliza (need to get basic working) and hunt the wumpus.

A guestbook is a good idea IMHO. Eric R. and I did that with our Xenix display 2 years ago.
It used email to sync the entries between machines.
