NUTS 4
In March 2003 Neil released the first alpha release of the new version of NUTS: NUTS-IV. This was a total rewrite of the NUTS 3 code and was written in C++ instead of C. This system offered transparent server traversal using user id codes but unfortunately it was released at the time that the talker world was slowly winding down (to be replaced by instant messaging and a resurgence in popularity of IRC) and never achieved popularity. Also, arguably, the use of hexadecimal user id codes for logging in and identification to the system instead of user names (which were available but subsidiary) made things more complicated for the users and wasn't very popular. The final version 1.4.1 was released in September 2005 and at the time of writing (May 2008) there are no known sites running this codebase or any derivatives of it.

Famous quotes containing the word nuts:
“The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.”
