Here is a fast example.. Not sorted. Show mortals and all immortal
who are not invis..
[NOT tested! So typos and other bugs.. Blame me.. :) But it give you an idea]

Ok. I made two minor corrections to Erik's code, and tested it under 30bpl11.
Works like a champ. I put all this in comm.c, since it seemed easiest.
Add the following lines where shown, then place the main code (Erik's + changes)
at the very bottom. As applied, it will update every 30 seconds.
