Hi,

Can someone enlighten me on the definition of a "stateless" system in software
as I would like to find out more about Andy's comments on the programs
CLIENT3.C and SERVER3.C (Minix Networking examples). They are described as
implementing a "stateless file-server" and that MINIX itself is not "stateless"
Any references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ken.
