The version I now have (binary says v870829.24, source says v871225.31), is the one with the 'big loop', and all parts of the system in one executable file. I would like to know how easy it would be to make a version (at least for the Amiga, or for any other machine with real or pseudo multitasking) to break up this large file into sepatate executables for every server and client program. That would make adding a new server or client, like finger, much easier. But it also requires an external interface to these external programs, to open a TCP or UDP 'connection', read from and write to it, and close it again. Also, the upcall system must be revised, since on systems like the Amiga, you don't use upcalls, but send a message instead. How much is this new version like I described? How much work would it be to make it that way?
