Hmm.. must have overlooked that one *goes to > subscribe..* It was created to contain (and perhaps to muffle?) this discussion last time around. I posted a conceptual document some time back describing the "romeo and juliet" client/server model that I have been subsequently working on. > Michael - I'd love to help out on this one.

Right now I want to concentrate on the module implementation, to make sure that the object/command dispatcher model is adequate, and to develop some more primitives. The best way to do this is mith more high-level modules being implemented. At some stage, the process will have to envelop a client, but I'm not ready for that yet, without a decent CUI interface toolkit. > Adrian -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
