Did lassie ever show up? Is timmy still trapped in the barn? The guy
that developed klphp has been awol for quite some time, I don't know
if he was around for the transition to joomla 1.0.xxx
Here are a couple fo links if you want try and track him down.

Here is the original thread for the mambot release
http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=39551&highlight=konlong
On a side note, would be kind of nice to include this functionality
in the core of Joomla and say, let the super admin decide what level
of user can use it.
