Ah, the old "Troll" cybertank.... :-)
Made a long time ago, and a bit crude and basic, but it did the job....
(The name was partly a play on the "ogre" genre, and partly a homage to
the
Keith Laumer "Night of the Trolls", one of the early Bolo stories)
Yes, long since deleted (and for production rather than legal reasons,
before anyone asks <grin>), though I THINK the mould is still around
somewhere.... ;-)
