Zombie is useful for applications which need a stream-type connection to other clients. Clients are assigned numeric IDs by the server upon first contact which are used for identification among the clients when sending messages.
Facilities exist for a client to get a list of all other clients and their numbers.
Multicasting to a group of clients and broadcasting to all clients is also possible. A source code distribution of Zombie is available as is a binary for Linux Intel platforms. A short user's manual is also included. A library of 3-D PostScript matrix operators which allow the user to draw paths, translate, scale, rotate, and otherwise treat PostScript as if it were dealing with three dimensions rather than the usual two. Zone is a set of macros which uses natural extensions to PostScript to draw, e.g. a 3-D path, by actually projecting the relevant points to the user page using perspective.
