when my mac went down, I seem to have lost my headhunter disk. I have an older
version that isn't as polished or useful, which I found on an old floppy.
This python script, called newstrace, is one of my first attempts at a
sophisticated coding rather than something simple. Sophisticated for me anyway.
I'll try to find the time to post the code on my site. It's alot of fun,
messing with stuff like this. I'm sure it can be modified to run off of a
leafnode spool with no problem. Terry's app did just that, and was actually
simpler.

best regards,

Mateus
