This isn't the most useful program, considering it doesn't actually retrieve the list of users and the levelname.
As for the legistics of your program, it's currently illegal. Please change the name to something other than jj2srvinfo (or something based on it, like your name), and comply with the GPL:
Quote:
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

So, in addition to changing the name, you need to licence your program under the GPL (*not* freeware...it's differnet) and put the date that you modified my files.
Hey, i'm not trying to be mean. I know you did open up your souce, but not quite to what the GPL said. This will protect your rights (no one can steal your work, but they're welcome to use it) as well as mine. Also, you should prolly put a copy of the GPL in your distribution.
But getting back to the program, i really don't see a reason to rewrite my code just to incorporate a gui and some Mac useability. You could've just coded a gui in ruby and added it on to my program (and told me of course, so that i could add it jj2srvinfo officially). As for being able to use it on Mac, there is (although slightly old) a version of ruby for Mac OS (8, 9, etc.), i've heard. Also, since OS X is based on BSD, ruby will compile perfectly fine on that.
