The link for download doesn't seem to work, does anyone have a backup copy of this tool?
See my Strasbourg map project here.

No, but I made my own one.

You need to install this small application and then you will be able to join servers just by clicking links in the form of:
bf1942://server.ip:port/{mod_name}
e.q. to join FHSW-Europ server: [url=bf1942://78.142.142.6:14567/fhsw]click[/url]
This installer automatically searches for BF1942 installation directory in registry, and if it fails, then it will left directory blank for user to fill in. Then it extracts .bat file into the BF1942 directory and adds some registry keys, required for operation of protocol. The program is licendsed under GNU GPL v3 and source code with resources can be found here.
