Guys, *please*! I stated earlier that I am currently concentrating
on making a stable version 2.0, and that I will see to make client/server
a priority *after* that. This discussion at the moment is rather distracting
for me, because I do read each posting but don't want to add to this
topic right now. I was hoping that, by saying I'll deal with client/server
after version 2.0, this topic could be put to rest for the moment.
Unfortunately the exact opposite has happened.
Another lession learned... ;-)

Klaus
