Old Timers! Anyone have a copy of the Spell Programming Language?

Way back when the Internet was spamfree and there was only one RPG newsgroup, 
someone posted a programming language for spells.  It was not great, but it was 
a good start.

Anyone remember it, and perhaps have a copy of it they could send my way?

  I believe you are talking about "Mage 2 Mage". It can be downloaded from
ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/rules/m2m_088.lzh -- at least,
that's what it looks like.

Oooh, Friday funtime, or is that a scavenger hunt?  Anyhow...

Google Groups (which has a good chunk of the usenet archived) got me to 
these messages:  

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&threadm=2794mt%24frv%40nntp.hut.fi&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dspells%2Bprogramming%2Blanguage%26hl%3Den%26selm%3D2794mt%2524frv%2540nntp.hut.fi%26rnum%3D1



And then I dug around and found version 0.89 on the net

http://www.the-infinite.org/archive/Mage2Mage.txt

That *seems* to be the last version published.

And no, I never heard of it before tonight.  Probably worth a good skimming...
