Very nice mod

I like the way you have implemented the ability to buy new servers, and the virus/anti-virus is a good idea.

I have run into a few issues, however.

* The Connection Analyser, IRC and LAN buttons don't line up with the others, they stay where they were in original Uplink.

* When you buy a new server, the text of the email ends with a corrupted string.

* If you buy a server and give it the same name as a machine that already exists in the world, you can't access it because the name lookup always returns the earlier machine.

* Your servers security interferes with your own operations, forcing you to disable it before uploading files. If you then forget to re-enable it, you are traced when you next connect.

* Your own servers show up in InterNIC twice.

* You get news items for destroying your own machines.

Nothing particularly game-breaking. Keep up the good work.

Also, check your PM shortly, there is another issue to talk about.
