netscript is a multi-platform, lightweight and portable TCP/UDP socket scripting system.

It is intended to automate situations, built on a word-to-word ruleset response system.

It includes wildcard support, character replacement, random replacement, argument inclusion, server timeout, initial send, display altering, multiple character dump formats, telnet protocol support, logging, program to socket dumping, executable ruleset support, reverse binding, module support, data truncation, data formatting, permission options, virtual hosting support, history storage, dynamic storage variables, directory placement, character omitting, timed rules, background support, syslog support, routing support, socket options, interactive mode, and graphical user interface support.

What's New in This Release:
Added -@, to switch netscript to the UDP protocol.
Added -^, to switch the route host to the UDP protocol.
Added -_, to switch the console display to ncurses.
Added -=, to define alternate button tabs for the (ncurses) gui.
Added new example rulesets. (udp/ncurses demonstration rulesets)
Added socket option(s). to be forced to run, even if not defined. to have netscript run smoother.
Changed the nsansi example module, to support ncurses properly. (will not be active if ncurses is)
Changed --list, to not evaluate while in privileged mode.
Fixed some minor bugs, barely worth noting.
