Thanks, looked at ACE, backed off when I saw it required - I think I
remember this right - several hundred megabytes of drive space to build
the library.  I didn't want to write a server that needed more space
than all the rest of the OS put together.

I'd be interested to know if ACE is usable in the Real World - including
FreeBSD users.
